Australia’s jobs report shapes rate forecasts, with cyclical assets favored amid market volatility and upcoming Supreme Court rulings on tariffs.

Australia’s latest jobs report is shaping market expectations and interest rate forecasts. Strong employment growth could boost confidence in the economy, while weaker data might prompt a rethink of monetary policy.

Investors are favouring cyclical assets over growth stocks, targeting sectors like industrials, materials, and energy. David Scutt from StoneX notes this reflects both caution amid market volatility and a bet on areas tied to economic cycles.

Meanwhile, the upcoming Supreme Court ruling on Trump’s reciprocal tariffs could significantly impact markets, yet many are overlooking its potential effects on trade, commodity prices, and sector valuations. Investors should prepare for possible volatility and adjust strategies accordingly.
