Australia's June consumer price index (CPI) numbers showed a slight disinflationary surprise; the monthly index dropped 0.1%, and the yearly rate dropped to 3.8% from 4.0% in May. Core inflation stayed unchanged year-on-year at 3.6%, which was less than what some analysts had predicted and showed how much lower fuel prices affected it.
Though core inflation remains over the desired range and calls for continued caution, the outcome helps the Reserve Bank of Australia to lower its near-term priority for raising rates once again. While bonds appreciated on expectations of reduced yield pressure in the future, markets reacted with a somewhat bearish tone on the Australian dollar.
