Australian Treasury presented the Mid-year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) on Wednesday, with the key highlights noted below.
The Australian Dollar (AUD) continues to lose ground on Wednesday, particularly after the release of moderate Consumer Price Index (CPI) data from the United States (US).
Han Wenxiu, deputy head of the Chinese Communist Party’s office for financial and economic affairs, said on Wednesday that “China should set its 2024 fiscal deficit and special local government bonds at appropriate levels and optimize the structure of fiscal expenditure.” “China should also keep consumer prices at a moderate and appropriate level, neither too low nor too high,” added Han.
The Australian Dollar is looking weak after rejection at 0.6615.
The AUD/USD is catching a firm risk-bid as markets surge higher following a dovish pivot to the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) policy stance; the Fed now sees at least three rate cuts in 2024, for a combined 75 basis points in rate cuts next year.
