Australia Outlook: Hunkering Down Under
A slump in Chinese demand for Australian exports will be a considerable challenge in H1 2012, though there may be some upside from Japanese reconstruction, as well as a Chinese bounceback in H2. Domestic demand is vulnerable to a correction in house prices, which have fallen in the past two quarters. De facto government austerity, coupled with other growth concerns and a falling rate of inflation, will open the door to three more rate cuts from the Reserve Bank of Australia in H1 2012.
