AUD/USD Surges, Helped by RBA Confidence and Inflation Growth

The Australian dollar increased noticeably against the US dollar. AUD/USD rose to 0.6684. The index of leading economic indicators from MI for May in Australia turned out to be zero and will not change from the previous value.

The weighted average consumer price index in Australia in May rose to 4.0% y/y from the previous step of 3.6%. The forecast was less ambitious and suggested a strengthening to 3.8%.

The statistics presented a little earlier reflected a surge in the index of consumer sentiment in Australia from Westpac in June. The index rose by 1.7%, while in May it fell by 0.3%.

The Reserve Bank of Australia is not concerned about the growing interest of consumers in private loans. This was revealed by RBA Assistant Governor Chris Kent. Speaking at the Australian Banking Association conference, he noted that private crepitus plays a very important market role. The RBA is keeping a close eye on this. However, the regulator is not overly concerned about growth here as this asset class is not particularly large in Australia.

That said, business investment is picking up. Kent drew attention to the presence of a significant contrast between business confidence and business conditions and where the consumer is. This position looks to be below average levels.
