SYDNEY: Australian consumer price inflation slowed more than expected in May, while the closely watched core measure eased to three-and-a-half-year lows in a boost to the case for a rate cut just next month.
The slowdown in the core gauge prodded investors to ramp up bets for a rate cut from the Reserve Bank of Australia in July to 90%, from 81% before. For all of 2025, another three rate cuts have been fully priced in.
