Business Confidence Drops; Inflation Expectations Rise in Australia
What happened
Roy Morgan reported that Business Confidence dropped 2.6 points to 76.5 in September. Consumer confidence showed little change, though Australians increased their expectations for inflation, which rose 0.1% to 6.2% for the third consecutive week. The report also noted a small improvement in buying sentiment, which was offset by growing worries about the economy.
