Westpac share price slips as hot inflation resets RBA bets — what to watch before next session
Westpac shares fell 0.23% to A$38.87 after December inflation data showed annual CPI at 3.8% and core inflation at 3.3%, fueling bets on a Reserve Bank of Australia rate hike next week. Money markets priced in higher odds of a February move, with the RBA decision set for Feb. 3. Other major banks ended little changed.
