18,000, which was a little bit below below consensus, but still an an okay print.

Um and yeah, you did you did see the front end of the um Aussie rates market came under a little bit of pressure post that that release um and expectations of a rate hike by the RBA was lifted a little bit.
voice-verified
So the OAS curve now prices 18 basis points of hikes for that May meeting or a seven.
voice-verified
73% chance of a 25 base point rate hike.
voice-verified
So yeah, I guess the print did did support, obviously that price action show tells you that it supported expectations of another RBA rate hike.
voice-verified
But NA's write-up of the reports suggests that we don't think it really shifted the RBA's assessment of the labor market.
voice-verified
Um and if anything it may be
voice-verified
um alleviated those concerns that were debated in the March meeting where the RBA was sort of questioning whether the labour market was noti noticeably re tightening.
voice-verified
And we don't think this report suggests that.
voice-verified
Yeah, it it it it was a a sort of um eye catching number, as you say.
voice-verified
It and you know, it did surge to twenty six point seven from eighteen point one and expectations were for the index to actually fall to to ten.
voice-verified
So so quite a bit stronger than
voice-verified
than expected.
voice-verified
I mean I mean looking at all of the data that was released overnight, it's quite a mix of data.
voice-verified
Um but most of it did actually come in on the stronger side of expectations.
voice-verified
So, yeah, that's probably something that also did weigh on on bond yields and and you know, why we saw bond yields push push higher, higher overnight.
voice-verified
You know, going back to that fully fed index, it it was the highest read since January 2025, and boosting the index was a surge in new orders, um, which jumped from the index jumped from 8.6 to 33.
voice-verified
Um, and you also did have a have have a reasonable rise in in shipments.
voice-verified
So yeah, strong, strong print, strong print there.
