Aussie moves lower following RBA minutes.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Aussie, which was traded against the dollar index, slipped following the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) released the meeting minutes. Investors choose to take profits as RBA gives simulated ambiguous monetary policy direction. The minutes from the reserve bank\u2019s last meeting resulted in 25 basis points increase to 4.1% to tame high inflation in Australia. The inflation rate had continued to decline as energy prices fall and food price inflation eased, the headline inflation is well above the central bank target. However, growth in economic activity in Australia has been dampened by lower consumer spending and a sharp tightening of monetary policy, dividing RBA members over a rate hike. The board members discussed the imbalance of household spending, noting that some households have tapped into large amounts of extra savings accumulated during the pandemic, while others have faced considerable budget constraints. Nonetheless, the rebounding of housing markets and stronger-than-expected workforce has prompted expectations of further rate hikes. As of writing, the AUD\/USD traded down by -0.70% to 0.6800.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil prices dropped by -0.20% to $71.20 per barrel as investors weighed on oil to China’s economic concerns. Besides, the gold prices edged down by -0.06% to $1948.99 per troy ounce as the dollar strengthened.<\/p>\n
