ASX Market Update: Inflation beats consensus, boosting case for rate cut | January 29, 2025

The Market Herald
01-29

The ASX200 has been up 0.85% at 8,470 points.

Today’s CPI release beat consensus expectations and has been welcomed by the Federal Treasurer and would be pleasing for the RBA.

Quarterly trimmed mean annualised printed at 2%, the lower bound of its target range, increasing the chance of a February rate cut. However, given recent tightening in the labour market and the weaker Aussie dollar, there’s still the chance the RBA may exercise caution and delay the first cut until Q2 this year.

All sectors are in positive territory and IT has been leading the charge, up 2.25%, followed by Real Estate, up 1.5%, and Telecommunication, up 1.2%.
