RBA’s Governor Speech
Reserve Bank of Australia governor Philip Lowe has denied the threat of a long undershoot of his 2-3 per cent inflation target but conceded that record-levels of household debt will complicate the task of normalising official interest rates. Warning that many households are suffering from a “sobering combination” of high debt and slow wages growth that will drag on spending, Dr Lowe acknowledged there was a real risk that businesses and consumers will come to think inflation won’t rebound. If inflation expectations are pushed lower in that way, that could entrench the low-rate, low economic growth, low wages trend of recent years – effectively producing a self-perpetuating spiral.
Trade Idea
Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, buying the pair around current levels appears to be a good strategy in short to medium term.
