Australian dollar jumped higher on the very strong jobs report – no RBA rate cuts ahead

The Reserve Bank of Australia has a two prong mandate:

  • price stability (keep inflation in a 2 to 3% band or so)
  • full employment
  • (a stable currency if you insist on a third prong)

While inflation has been rising here in Australia, a concern for the RBA, the labour market had been showing signs of deteriorating. This posed a (small) dilemma for the RBA, if the labour market kept deteriorating it’d hamper the fight against inflation.

  • Employment change is twice what was expected.
  • Full time jobs surged.
  • There will be no interest rate cut from the Reserve Bank of Australia in the immediate future, I think we can reassess this perhaps towards the end of Q1 next year. The RBA is on hold until then.
