Australian consumer confidence dipped last week by 1.1%, although it has remained comparatively higher over the past month due to a stable job market, tax cuts, and financial aid aimed at offsetting energy costs. This stability has anchored inflation expectations and brought a measure of optimism to households navigating economic uncertainties.
The Australian labor market is notably robust, keeping unemployment low and consistently matching growth driven by immigration influx. These dynamics have kept the job market strong, which in turn has bolstered household confidence. According to a weekly survey by ANZ and pollster Roy Morgan, consumer confidence has improved by 4.4% over the last month, signaling a recovery trend despite minor week-to-week fluctuations.
Anticipation of a potential fall in mortgage interest rates has been a contributing factor to the strengthened sentiment. However, this optimism faces a pivotal test with the release of third-quarter inflation data, which could prompt the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to reassess its rate policies. While other major central banks have reduced rates significantly this year, the RBA has held its ground and maintained a conservative stance on easing, leading most economists to forecast any rate cuts no earlier than February.
Consumer sentiment metrics further reveal that households’ financial confidence is at its highest point since early 2023, with notable improvements in sentiment among renters and homeowners alike. The four-week moving average for consumer confidence now stands at a 20-month high, indicating a resilient response to broader economic pressures.
This weekly survey of consumer confidence, based on interviews with 1,504 Australians, underscores the complex but generally optimistic outlook for the Australian economy as it navigates inflation, interest rates, and evolving consumer expectations.
