澳大利亚统计局数据显示，三季度核心通胀（修剪均值）环比上升1%，年化率达到3.6%，高于央行预测1。整体通胀率同样超出预期，其中季度整体通胀率为1.3%，月度整体通胀率年化升至4.3%1。这一表现促使市场加大对澳洲联储在11月再次加息的预期1。
从分项来看，住房贡献最大，同比上涨5.2%；交通因燃料成本上涨，同比涨8.7%1。澳洲联储行长米歇尔·布洛克表示劳动力市场依然紧张，政策委员会将在下周开会评估数据及风险1。
财政部长吉姆·查尔默斯承认政府责任，并将部分通胀归咎于中东冲突导致的能源价格上涨1。他称中东战争对全球通胀有灾难性影响1。
Recent data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics indicates that inflation in Australia is running hotter than anticipated, significantly increasing market expectations for another interest rate hike by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) at its November meeting 1. Core inflation, measured by the trimmed mean, rose by 1 percent in the September quarter compared to the previous three months, exceeding the central bank's own forecasts and reaching an annualized rate of 3.6 percent 1. The headline quarterly inflation rate also surpassed market consensus, climbing 1.3 percent over the period, while the monthly figure spiked to an annualized rate of 4.3 percent 1.
The surge in prices was largely driven by specific sectors, with housing costs contributing the most to the overall increase as they rose 5.2 percent year-on-year 1. Transportation costs also saw a significant jump, rising 8.7 percent annually due to higher fuel expenses 1. In response to these figures, RBA Governor Michele Bullock emphasized that the labor market remains tight, noting that the policy board will convene next week to carefully evaluate the new data and associated risks before making their decision 1.
Meanwhile, Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers acknowledged the government's responsibility regarding domestic price pressures but attributed part of the inflation spike to global factors, specifically citing the conflict in the Middle East 1. Chalmers described the war's impact on global energy prices and subsequent inflationary effects as "catastrophic" 1.
