澳大利亚储备银行将现金利率上调25个基点至4.35%。

By

-- 澳大利亚储备银行(RBA)周二发布声明称,已决定将官方现金利率上调25个基点至4.35%。 该行表示,通胀在2025年下半年显著上升,2026年初以来的信息证实,部分通胀上升反映了产能压力增大。 澳储行指出,中东冲突已导致燃料及相关大宗商品价格大幅上涨,加剧了通胀,初步迹象表明,许多面临成本压力的企业正在寻求提高商品和服务价格。 声明补充道,澳储行的基本预测假设冲突很快得到解决,燃料价格下降,预计2月份潜在通胀率将高于预期,随后随着需求增长放缓和产能压力因利率上升而缓解,通胀率将有所下降。 澳大利亚储备银行表示,今年金融环境趋紧,货币市场利率、政府债券收益率和汇率均有所上升,但家庭和企业仍能便捷地获得信贷。 澳大利亚储备银行表示,持续时间更长或冲突程度更严重的情况可能进一步推高全球能源价格,推高短期通胀,并可能将更高的价格纳入长期通胀预期。同时,更高的价格和持续的不确定性也可能对澳大利亚主要贸易伙伴和国内的经济增长构成压力。 声明指出,更高的燃料价格加剧了通胀,并有迹象表明,在2026年初以来已出现高通胀(反映出产能压力)的基础上,更广泛的商品和服务价格可能受到第二轮冲击。 鉴于这些因素,澳大利亚储备银行表示,董事会评估认为,通胀可能在一段时间内保持在目标水平以上,且风险偏向上行,因此加息是合适的。最终,八名成员投票赞成提高现金利率,一名成员投票赞成维持利率在4.1%不变。

Research Alert: Hsbc Q1 Profit Misses On Fraud Charge, Wealth Revenue Strong

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:HSBC's Q1 2026 PBT fell 1% Y/Y to USD9.4B, missing the consensus of USD9.6B, while revenue rose 6% to USD18.6B, beating the consensus of USD18.5B on strong Wealth fee income and banking NII growth. The results showed resilience amid geopolitical uncertainty, though profitability was pressured by elevated ECL charges rising 49% to USD1.3B, including a USD0.4B fraud-related provision and USD0.3B in Middle East conflict allowances. We believe strategic execution remains on track despite near-term headwinds, with USD39B in net new money inflows and continued Wealth momentum supporting the investment thesis. Management upgraded banking NII guidance to ~USD46B from at least USD45B while raising ECL guidance to ~45 bps from ~40 bps, reaffirming 17%+ RoTE targets for 2026-2028. The CET1 ratio declined 90 bps Q/Q to 14.0%, primarily from the Hang Seng privatization impact, though capital adequacy remains solid within the 14%-14.5% target range, supporting the USD0.10 interim dividend and medium-term return profile.
