Australia's employment comes in strong in July - ING
Robert Carnell, ING's Chief Economist and Head of Research, suggests that a 41K increase in employment in July does not really tally with thoughts of a near-term further easing from the RBA, or a much weaker AUD.
- "The 41K employment change is even more impressive than it first looks as 34.5K of that total was full-time employment, and only 6.7K part-time. The consensus view was for only a 14K increase (ING f +37K). We were not too surprised by this data, which we find roughly follows a negative serial correlation pattern (in short, it saw-tooths).
- The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 5.2%, but that was also well within expectations and came despite an increase in the participation rate.
- We don't rule out further easing from the RBA before the year-end, but they have done a lot already, and today's strong labour data suggest that the Fed is more likely to be easing before the RBA moves again. "
