October brings warmer weather, longer days, and new spring growth. It's a fresh chance to check in, take stock and prepare for the final stretch of the year.
The continuing concerns over inflation prompted the Reserve Bank to lift the cash rate by 0.25% to 4.6%, the highest level in 15 years. The RBA says that rising energy costs and stronger than expected economic activity also contributed to the decision.
Inflation remained above the RBA's target range, with CPI surging to 4.0%, while the trimmed mean remained steady at 3.6%.
Consumer confidence declined 5.2% to 84.4 in September, down from 88.9 in August. This reflects concerns about cost-of-living pressures, higher interest rates and continued global uncertainty.
Australian share markets were weaker during the month with the S&P/ASX 200 retreating from the 9,000-point level as rising bond yields and expectations of higher interest rates took a toll on investor sentiment.
Oil prices remained high and volatile climbing back over US$100 a barrel, while the Australian dollar eased back towards US70 cents by month's end.
