Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Reserve Bank of Australia raised its cash rate to 4.85%, reaching an 18-year high, in a 6-3 split vote, citing inflation remaining above 3% until late 2027. Separately, oil prices edged higher following US strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island. The offshore yuan fell since June after the People’s Bank of China set the USD/CNY central rate at 6.7150. Furthermore, talks regarding Iran stalled due to the reported US strike and CIA advice.
