Reserve Bank of Australia official Hauser said the central bank made no effort to manipulate market sentiment through open mouth operations, according to a First Squawk tweet. The remark pushes back on the idea that RBA commentary is deliberately used to steer expectations rather than simply communicate policy. It matters because open mouth operations—signaling intentions without acting—are a key channel through which central banks shape rate expectations and currency moves. Traders will watch upcoming RBA speeches and minutes for whether the language stays consistent with that stance.
