-- 根据澳新银行（ANZ）周二发布的报告，澳大利亚消费者信心指数在4月27日至5月3日这一周下降0.6点至67.2点，接近该指数自1973年开始统计以来的最低水平。 四周移动平均值上升1.2点至66点。 周通胀预期上升0.1个百分点至6.7%，而四周移动平均值则回落至6.8%。 过去一年的财务状况指数下降0.6点至62.4点，而未来12个月的财务状况指数上升1.4点至76.8点。 澳新银行经济学家索菲亚·安加拉（Sophia Angala）表示，家庭对经济状况的信心略有减弱，这可能反映了上周公布的第一季度通胀数据。 短期经济信心指数（未来12个月）上升0.9点至56.9，而中期经济信心指数（未来五年）下降1.9点至76.4。 与此同时，“购买大型家用物品时机”分项指数下降2.4点至63.7。 安加拉表示，预计储备银行将在周二的决议中将现金利率上调25个基点至4.35%。
