January 2024 Economic and market overview.

All measures of inflation slowed sharply in the December quarter, which was consistent with previous guidance from Reserve Bank of Australia policymakers. At the headline level, consumer prices rose at an annual pace of 4.1%, down from 5.4% in the September quarter.

Inflation remains significantly above the 2% to 3% target, but officials will nonetheless be happy with the direction of travel.

The economy lost more than 65,000 jobs in December, which surprised economists and came after four months of gains.

Combined with moderating inflation, any prolonged downturn in the labour market would likely increase the probability of interest rates being cut in the months ahead.

The latest projections suggest official borrowing costs will be lowered in the second half of 2024 and by between 0.50% and 0.75% by the end of the year.
