ANZ share price slides as sticky core inflation keeps RBA rate path in focus
ANZ Group Holdings fell 1.5% to A$35.43, closing at its session low and underperforming the S&P/ASX 200, which rose 0.28%. The move followed flat November inflation data, keeping rate hike bets in play. Australia’s other major banks also closed lower. Interest-rate futures now price about a one-in-three chance of a Reserve Bank hike in February.
