When the Bureau of Statistics released the GDP figures on Wednesday, the June quarter 0.4% growth figure immediately drew headlines of a rate rise to come, but there is little within the GDP figures that suggests an economy needing slowing.(当统计局周三发布GDP数据时,第二季度0.4%的增长率立即成为头条,预示着即将加息,但GDP数据中几乎没有迹象表明经济需要降温。)

Before the release, the average expectation from banking economists and those throwing a dart at a board(掷飞镖猜数字,比喻随意猜测) was that the economy in June would grow by 0.3%. In the end it grew 0.4% and brought out the suggestions that the growth was “above expectations” and thus in some way hot and in need of cooling off(降温,冷却) by another interest rate rise.
在发布之前,银行经济学家和那些“掷飞镖猜数字”的人的平均预期是6月份经济将增长0.3%。最终增长了0.4%,这引发了“超出预期”的说法,因此有人认为经济过热,需要通过再次加息来降温。
The market immediately priced in a rate rise by November.
市场立即将11月加息的可能性计入价格。
