澳洲联储主席布洛克：对通胀风险保持警惕，如有必要将毫不犹豫加息

Odaily Odaily News: Reserve Bank of Australia Chairman Bullock said that he would remain vigilant to inflation risks and would not hesitate to raise interest rates if necessary. It is expected that inflation will not return to the target range of 2-3% before the end of 2025. The committee believes that the current interest rate is still in line with its inflation target. Demand growth is still too strong. (Jinshi)

Australia's central bank governor Lowe: Remain vigilant about inflation risks, will not hesitate to raise interest rates if necessary.

The Reserve Bank of Australia will keep the interest rate unchanged at 4.35%, in line with market expectations. (Jinshi)

Odaily Odaily reported that European Central Bank board member Rehn said that if confidence in the trend of slowing inflation increases, interest rate cuts can continue, and interest rate cuts will not damage the fragile growth and sluggish investment in the euro zone that I am worried about.

European Central Bank Governing Council member Rehn: If the trend of slowing inflation strengthens confidence, rate cuts can continue.

The unsettling question of whether the Federal Reserve has gone too far in addressing inflation, leading the world's largest economy into a destructive recession, has shaken the long-standing calm of global markets. Before the answer emerges, more turbulence is expected.

Former New York Fed President Bill Dudley stated that two weeks ago, he shifted from a hawkish to a dovish stance, no longer supporting rate hikes, and instead advocating for an immediate rate cut to avoid a recession. It turns out the timing was not too early. Since then, evidence of a weakening job market and slowing inflation has rapidly accumulated, strongly indicating that the Federal Reserve has fallen behind the curve.

He believes that an immediate rate cut is by the book, but the likelihood is small. This is inconsistent with Powell's cautious approach, as the Federal Reserve rarely takes such actions outside of regular policy-setting meetings. Therefore, the focus shifts to the next meeting in September, where the Federal Reserve may cut rates by 25 basis points or 50 basis points, depending on the economic data from now until then. But after that, the path forward is unclear.
