- Employment change: +10.8K vs. +12.0K expected vs. +25.7K previous
- Jobless rate: steady at 5.7% vs. uptick to 5.8% expected
- Labor force participation rate: 64.8% vs hold steady at 64.9% expected
Based on the available leading indicators, I reckoned in the previous Forex Preview for Australia’s jobs report that we’re getting “
yet another mixed picture,” but I ultimately concluded that the leading indicators were “
leaning towards another potential upside surprise.”
Unfortunately, we got the opposite since the Australian economy was
only able to generate a net increase of 10.8K jobs, which is lower than
the expected 12.0K increase and the previous month’s downgraded +25.7K
figure (+26.1K originally).
What can forex traders expect this time?
- Employment change: +15.0K expected vs. +10.8K previous
- Jobless rate: hold steady at 5.7% expected
- Labor force participation rate: uptick from 64.8% to to 64.9% expected
For the upcoming jobs report, the general consensus is that the
Australian economy will generate a net increase of 15.0K jobs, which is
more than the previous 10.8K increase. As for the jobless rate, it is
expected to hold steady at 5.7%, although the labor force participation
rate is expected to tick higher from 64.8% to 64.9%.
