Australian stocks hit 2-year high, dollar flat
Australian shares led gains in Asia-Pacific markets early on Wednesday.
When trading resumed this week, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 index rose as much as 1.2% to hit a high of 7,593.40, its highest level since late April 2022. The Australian dollar remained flat against the US dollar.
The index is aiming for an increase of more than 7% in 2023. Australian shares are faring better than other major Asia-Pacific markets. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index has fallen more than 17% this year, and China’s CSI300 index has fallen more than 13%.
Australian shares were buoyed in part by the Federal Reserve’s more dovish leanings, after the central bank left interest rates unchanged at its last meeting of the year and said it would not raise interest rates in the future. It is supported by expectations.
Minutes from the RBA’s last meeting show the Australian central bank debated whether to raise interest rates by 25 basis points or keep them unchanged, with board members ultimately deciding to keep the rate unchanged at 4.35%.
