CBA CEO comments on inflation targets amid ASX decline
What happened
The Australian Stock Exchange fell 0.6 per cent on the first day of trading, with banks leading the losses, and Commonwealth Bank was down more than 2 per cent. During a discussion, Commonwealth Bank CEO Matt Comyn told shareholders that it could take time for higher interest rates to bring inflation back to target. Ricardo Gonçalves analyzed these market movements, which included Glencore's debut on the ASX.
