I posted on the National Australia Bank October business confidence and conditions here:
That post is a good run down of the survey.
The Australian press is onto the result pretty quickly, this via The Australian (may be gated)
- Business conditions hit an all-time high in October
- but analysts have warned of a possible pullback in coming months
- NAB's indicator pointed to solid employment conditions, pointing to adequate jobs growth to further lower the unemployment rate
- "Overall, results from the survey indicate that the business sector in Australia is very strong at present, which is having positive spill-overs into the labour market and, to some extent, investment," the report said
