Key quotes

Monthly numbers can be volatile but unemployment rate jump was a surprise.

Unemployment could come down again next month.

The board is cautious about policy, interest rates are still a bit restrictive.

Inflation is back in the target band and unemployment rate is still pretty low so still in good condition.

We will have to decide whether a cut is needed to help the job market.

Rates might not come down as far as others.

If we end up with core inflation at 0.9% that would be a material miss (this would be 0.3% above their forecast for the Q/Q measure).

There's still a bit of tightness in the labour market.

US tariffs could potentially be deflationary for Australia.

Supply of labour not growing as fast as it was.

Labour market won't fall off a cliff.

I'm prepared to change my mind and move if we prove wrong on the labour market.
