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.

LONDON/DUBAI (Reuters) -Emerging market debt sales boomed in the first half of the year, defying tariff tantrums, missile attacks and gyrating oil prices, on track for another year of records - and with nascent signs of a shift away from the dollar, bankers told Reuters.

BENGALURU (Reuters) -The U.S. dollar will remain weak over the coming months, a Reuters poll of FX analysts forecast, caught in a tangle of mounting U.S. debt concerns, erratic tariff policies and rising interest rate cut expectations.

Recent data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission also showed the short-dollar trade was at a near two-year high, suggesting further weakness may be in the offing.

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.
