The AUD/USD pair increased to 0.6400 after the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the third quarter of CY2022 was 7.3%, which was higher than the consensus expectation of 7.0% and the previous release of 6.1%. In addition, the quarterly inflation rate has matched the prior estimate of 1.8% and above predictions of 1.5%.

 

This may drive the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to announce a higher rate hike in its upcoming monetary policy. The RBA raised the Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 25 basis points (bps) to 2.6% during its monetary policy meeting in October. Governor Philip Lowe of the RBA slowed the pace of rate hikes in October, after the central bank had projected a 50 basis point rate hike period. Now, a larger-than-expected rate hike will require the RBA to return to a rate hike cycle of 50 basis points.
