ANZ flagged a gradual cooling in Australian labor demand, despite September ANZ-Indeed Job Ads rising 2.2% m/m. Trend Job Ads increased 2.0% m/m, up 12.3% y/y; ANZ expects the series to drift lower in coming months. ANZ said higher interest rates should slow economic momentum over time, with labor market impacts typically lagging softer activity. August labor force data showed unemployment at 4.6% with employment up 39,500; hours worked rose 0.7% m/m. ANZ expects unemployment to edge higher, likely modestly, citing resilience in job ads despite mixed labor indicators.
