Asia Pacific | Inflation & interest rate outlook
APAC is the most diverse market in terms of factors at play, with rates in Japan holding at 0.1 percent for many years. Inflation in other key regions remains manageable, and all markets have CPI at below 5 percent, suggesting future rate rises are no longer necessary. In Australia, rates have been on hold as inflation has been wound back from April 2023 highs, with clearer signals that rates are at their peak.
Asia Pacific | Most diverse range of markets and by far the biggest spread range
While spreads are wholly positive, this is driven by markets such as Japan and Singapore where yields are trading at a widespread. Australian all-sector spreads are also positive (75 basis points). Growing consensus that rates may have peaked is feeding into more positive investment sentiment in the market.
