Fundamentals

Australia

ANZ Job Advertisements

At 0:30 GMT on Monday the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) will publish data regarding the number of job advertisements in Australia in October. It encompasses advertisements in the major metropolitan newspapers and on the Internet sites. The corresponding index, based on a survey by ANZ, climbed 3.9% in September compared to August, following another 1.0% surge in the preceding month. Septembers gain in advertisements has been the sharpest one since June 2014, when a gain rate of 4.4% was reported. This indicator is used for projecting growth in employment in Australia, as it reflects labor market conditions in the future. An increase in the number of jobs would have a limited bullish effect on the Australian dollar, while a decrease would have the opposite effect.
