The latest data published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) showed on Wednesday, Australia’s monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 5.6% in the year to May 2023, compared with April’s annual increase of 6.8%. The market consensus was for an acceleration of 6.1% in the reported period.
Key takeaways
“The most significant price rises were Housing (+8.4%), Food and non-alcoholic beverages (+7.9%) and Furnishings, household equipment and services group (+6.0%).”
“Offsetting the rise was Automotive fuel (-8.0%).”
Market reaction
The sell-off in the AUD/USD pair gathered pace on much softer-than-expected Australian CPI data. The pair is losing 0.84% on the day to trade at 0.6630, as of writing.
