The mind-boggling data is here from earlier: October Business Conditions 21 (prior 14) & Confidence 8 (prior 7)

Bloomberg have their take on the data up, so if you are after more, check it out:

  • Australian business conditions surged to the highest on record
  • driven by spikes in sales and profitability
  • ... the report came with a caveat: leading indicators suggest the possibility of some pull-back in coming months.

ps. The AUD climb on the data was partly AUD/ZND buying, which has capped NZD/USD on the session and seen it slide.
