Why Average Weekly Earnings / Wages matters for AUD
Wages are the largest cost component for service-sector businesses. Strong wage growth means higher disposable income (supporting demand) but also higher input costs that are typically passed on as price inflation.
How to interpret this series
Accelerating wages above a level consistent with the Reserve Bank of Australia's inflation target are aud-supportive because they reinforce a hawkish policy stance. Decelerating wages open the door to rate cuts.
