Australia's 10-year government bond yield stabilized at around 3.84% as investors continued to assess the Reserve Bank of Australia’s monetary policy outlook. The central bank has maintained a hawkish stance, dissuading the market from pricing in cuts this year. Earlier this month, RBA Governor Michele Bullock emphasized that it is too soon to consider rate cuts as inflation remained too high. Assistant Governor Sarah Hunter also recently said that the labor market is still tight relative to full employment, with employment expected to continue rising but at a slower pace than population growth. Investors are now awaiting the country’s jobs report this week to gauge the health of the labor market and its potential implications on the domestic monetary policy. Meanwhile, market attention will also be focused on an expected interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve later this week.
