RBA says inflation to remain above its target until end 2010
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- The Reserve Bank of Australia increased its inflation forecasts for this year, noting underlying CPI is to remain above its target band until late 2010 at the earliest, dampening expectations interest rates could fall from their current 12-year high of 7.25% any time soon. The central bank forecast growth in the headline CPI will rise to 4.25% by June and peak at 4.5% in December, eventually falling back to 2.75% by the end of 2010, the central bank said in its quarterly monetary statement. The central bank said there are major risks its estimates could be off the mark in either direction owing to "contrasting forces" that are likely to affect the economy in the period ahead. Pressures on wages and capacity constraints may ebb against the backdrop of slowing global growth and tighter financial conditions, although improvements in terms of trade, driven by soaring commodity prices, could add to economic stimulus and lead to another spike in domestic prices.Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.
