SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australian consumer price inflation slowed more than expected in May, while the closely watched core measure hit three-and-a-half-year lows as investors locked in bets for an imminent rate cut. Swaps now imply a 92% probability that the Reserve Bank of Australia would cut rates by a quarter-point when it delivers its policy decision on July 8, a day before the expiry of a 90-pause in U.S. reciprocal tariffs on other countries. Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Deutsche Bank and TD Securities changed their next rate cut call to July from August, while UBS said its expectation for the RBA to hold steady next month is under review.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -The U.S. dollar gained against major currencies including the yen, Swiss franc and the euro on Wednesday as data helped to support market expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut, while the pound sterling fell amid a selloff in British government bonds. Traders were also positioning ahead of the Labor Department's comprehensive employment report for June, due to be released on Thursday, and the July 4 holiday. The dollar had lost ground briefly but regained momentum after the ADP National Employment Report showed that U.S. private payrolls fell for the first time in more than two years in June, suggesting the Fed might cut rates as soon as September.

SINTRA, Portugal (Reuters) -There is no prospect of a major challenge to the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency of choice any time soon, central bankers gathered for an annual conference in the Portuguese resort of Sintra said on Tuesday. U.S. President Donald Trump's unpredictable economic, trade and security policies have spurred questions over whether the U.S. currency, which accounts for 58% of the world's reserves, can remain at the centre of the global monetary system. European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde, who has argued the euro could over time become an alternative to the dollar if Europe's currency zone enacted necessary reforms, said 2025 could in future be viewed as "pivotal" in this respect.
