英镑/澳元 (GBPAUD) 加自选

澳元跌破0.67美元，因投资者对疲软的国内就业报告作出反应。数据显示，澳大利亚的失业率从3月份的3.8%上升到4月份的4.1%，超出预期。此前的数据显示，第一季度国内工资增长意外放缓，促使市场对澳大利亚储备银行进一步加息的可能性进行定价。在其他地方，本周的年度预算显示，澳大利亚政府旨在通过花费数十亿美元削减能源账单和租金，同时降低所得税，来缓解生活成本压力。与此同时，澳元仍接近四个月高点，因为美国通胀放缓强化了美联储将于今年晚些时候开始降息的预期。在北京通过长期债券采取更大规模刺激措施后，对中国经济财政支持的预期增加，也为本币提供了支持。

The Australian dollar eased below $0.67 as investors reacted to a weak domestic jobs report. Data showed that Australia’s unemployment rate increased more than anticipated to 4.1% in April from 3.8% in March. That followed data showing domestic wage growth unexpectedly slowed in the first quarter, prompting markets to price out any chance of further interest rate hikes from the Reserve Bank of Australia. Elsewhere, this week’s annual budget showed that the Australian government aims to ease costs of living pressures by spending billions to cut energy bills and rent, while reducing income taxes. Meanwhile, the aussie remained close to four-month highs as slowing US inflation reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve will start cutting interest rates later this year. The local currency also received support from increased expectations of fiscal support for the Chinese economy following Beijing’s concrete steps of larger stimulus through long-dated bonds.
