NAB调查显示澳大利亚商业环境创六年新低，远期订单大幅下滑
Australia business conditions hit six-year low as forward orders slide: NAB
The NAB survey showed Australia's business conditions index fell 1 point to -2 in October, its lowest since August 2020; business confidence declined 1 point to -15, well below the long-run average of +5. Forward orders dropped sharply, with retail recording the weakest confidence, business conditions and orders, while construction also showed signs of softening. Quarterly growth in purchase costs rose to 2.4%.
The latest NAB business survey shows Australian business conditions at their lowest since August 2020 and business confidence well below its long-run average. The sharp decline in forward orders combined with rising quarterly purchase-cost growth highlights the policy dilemma posed by high interest rates restraining demand alongside persistent cost pressures. Traders can focus on the data's impact on RBA rate-hike expectations and how shifts in those expectations are priced into Australian dollar movements.
