Australian headline CPI fell to 4.2% in April from 4.6% in the previous month, coming in below the consensus estimate of 4.4%. — Lower-than-expected inflation increases the probability that the RBA will pause interest rate hikes, which generally supports equity valuations.
+0.60Australian government bond yields fell, with the 10-year yield around 4.86% and the 2-year yield around 4.53%. — Falling yields lower borrowing costs and reduce the discount rate for future earnings, providing a direct tailwind for the ASX 200.
+0.40The ASX 200 is currently range-bound at A$8,660 but is positioned for a potential breakout toward the 9,000 level if it reclaims the 50/100-day area. — This identifies a technical pivot point for traders, though the actual move depends on the fundamental catalysts mentioned above.
