Australian Dollar falls after mixed inflation figures released

The Australian Dollar (AUD) saw a decline against the US Dollar (USD) following the release of mixed Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, raising expectations for the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) monetary policy. The inflation report showed a 3.8% year-over-year increase for the Monthly CPI in June, slightly lower than the previous month’s 4.0%. This has led to speculation that the RBA may keep interest rates unchanged at its upcoming policy meeting, as further rate hikes could hinder Australia’s economic recovery. The NBS Manufacturing PMI for July also posted a reading of 49.4, slightly exceeding expectations. Changes in the Chinese economy have a significant impact on the Australian market, making these PMI readings relevant.

The Australian Dollar’s downward trend against the US Dollar may be limited as the USD faces challenges ahead of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) upcoming interest rate decision. The Fed is expected to keep rates steady in July, but there is growing anticipation of a rate cut in September. Signs of cooling inflation and labor market conditions in the US are fueling expectations of multiple rate cuts this year. This anticipation of potential rate cuts by the Fed is putting pressure on the USD, giving the AUD some breathing room in the forex market.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics released data showing that the Monthly CPI rose 3.8% year-over-year in June, with the RBA Trimmed Mean CPI rising by 3.9% in Q2. These figures indicate a moderate inflation rate that might influence the RBA’s future policy decisions. Building Permits in Australia fell by 6.5% in June, exceeding market expectations, while National Australia Bank (NAB) forecasts stability in the RBA’s cash rate until 2025. A recent statement from Australia’s Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) highlighted a slow increase in arrears rates, leading to a decision to keep macroprudential policy settings unchanged for now.

Bank of America anticipates strong economic growth in the US, suggesting that the Fed can afford to delay implementing any adjustments. The BofA expects the Fed to begin rate cuts in December, emphasizing the strength of the US economy. Currency technical analysis shows the Australian Dollar trading around 0.6500, breaking below a descending channel with potential for an upward correction. Immediate support lies around 0.6470, while key resistance is at 0.6575. A break above this level could lead to a test of 0.6600, with a potential high of 0.6798.

Inflation is a crucial factor in currency valuation, with changes in prices affecting the purchasing power of a currency. Headline inflation measures the rise in the price of goods and services, while core inflation, which excludes volatile components like food and fuel, is targeted by central banks. Higher inflation can lead to increased interest rates, attracting global capital inflows and strengthening a currency. Gold, historically seen as a hedge against inflation, may not always perform well in times of high inflation if central banks raise interest rates to combat it. Lower inflation tends to benefit safe-haven assets like Gold, as interest rates decrease, making them more appealing investment options.
