西太平洋银行称,澳大利亚信用卡交易活动显示非必需消费支出增速放缓迹象

By

-- 根据周三发布的一份报告,澳大利亚信用卡消费活动显示出非必需消费支出增速放缓的迹象。西太平洋银行-DataX信用卡追踪指数在截至4月25日的两周内上涨2.1点,扭转了此前的下滑趋势。 截至4月底,季度增长势头依然疲软,约为1%,低于第一季度的1.2%,也低于此前三个季度2%的平均水平。 与此同时,由于燃油价格波动,月度增长呈现出更大的波动性。燃油价格在3月份飙升,随后在4月份因消费税下调和需求下降而回落。 最近一周的数据显示,环比下降了1%。 过去六周的数据显示,非必需消费类别的增速放缓更为明显,尤其是非必需服务类消费,尽管燃油和电力市场仍在持续活跃,但这些类别的消费已出现全面萎缩。
