While the market had already factored in a 40 basis point increase in the official cash rate by 2026, the central bank indicated that policy settings are likely to remain accommodative for some time. Economists noted that the RBA conveyed confidence that inflation will fall back to the mid-2% range over the next 12 months, but also warned of the recent unexpected rise in overall inflation. Given the large amount of spare capacity in the economy, Goldman Sachs expects a strong economic recovery while inflationary pressures will remain moderate.

As a result of the Statistics Bureau of Japan's publication of robust employment data, it is anticipated that the AUD/JPY pair will extend its slide into the crucial support level of 92.00. The Unemployment Rate was 2.6%, beating expectations of 2.5% but matching the prior announcement of 2.6%. While the employment-to-applicant ratio has been recorded at 1.35, in accordance with projections, it is greater than the prior figure of 1.34.

 

As a result of rising protests in China against the Chinese government's lifting of Covid-19 lockup restrictions, the Australian dollar has suffered and the risk barometer is experiencing a rough patch. After hearing tales of public protest over restrictions, experts wasted little time in providing negative economic estimates for China.

 

No one could deny that diminished expectations for China will harm more than simply the economy of the dragon. Even major trading partners, including Australia and New Zealand, feel the heat. China's protest-inspired risk aversion has sent the AUD/JPY pair near to the 92,000 mark.

 

Notably, the demand for democracy in place of authoritarianism may cause political instability inside the Chinese economy. This may further decrease investors' risk appetite.

 

The Caixin Manufacturing PMI data released on Thursday will be the focus of investors' attention moving forward. The expected economic data is 48.6, compared to 49.2 in the previous release. A Caixin Manufacturing data that is weaker than expected could boost market volatility.
