-- 根據澳新銀行（ANZ）週二發布的報告，澳洲消費者信心指數在4月27日至5月3日這一周下降0.6點至67.2點，接近該指數自1973年開始統計以來的最低水準。 四周移動平均值上升1.2點至66點。 週通膨預期上升0.1個百分點至6.7%，而四周移動平均值則回落至6.8%。 過去一年的財務狀況指數下降0.6點至62.4點，而未來12個月的財務狀況指數上升1.4點至76.8點。 澳新銀行經濟學家索菲亞·安加拉（Sophia Angala）表示，家庭對經濟狀況的信心略有減弱，這可能反映了上周公布的第一季通膨數據。 短期經濟信心指數（未來12個月）上升0.9點至56.9，而中期經濟信心指數（未來五年）下降1.9點至76.4。 同時，「購買大型家用物品時機」分項指數下降2.4點至63.7。 安加拉表示，預計儲備銀行將在周二的決議中將現金利率上調25個基點至4.35%。
