What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

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.
