Women power surge in full-time jobs

Australia's unemployment rate has improved in July as thousands of people found full-time work. Fresh figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics show the unemployment rate fell to 4.2 per cent in July, from 4.3 per cent. The fall in unemployment came as 24,500 people found work over the last month. This was largely in line with expectations of 35,000 new roles being created. Growth in employment was driven by full-time employment, which was up by 60,000 people, with a 36,000 person fall in part-time employment partly offsetting this rise. The number of female full-time workers grew by 40,000 while male full-time workers rose by 20,000. 'Early stages of a downturn' On Tuesday the RBA maintained its forecast for the full unemployment rate to sit around 4.3 per cent by December this year. While good news for workers, BDO Economics partner Anders Magnusson said the unemployment rate dampens hope of further interest rate relief. 'Today's labour force figures show the unemployment rate at 4.2 per cent, slightly below the Reserve Bank's forecast of 4.3 per cent, he said. 'While this still points to a gradual loosening in conditions, it suggests the labour market is holding up a little better than the RBA had anticipated.' Oxford economics head of macroeconomic forecasting Sean Langcake said the strong growth in full-time wages also helped boost the hours worked and contributed to a tick down in the underemployment rate. 'The labour market has been in a tight position for a protracted period, defying a broader slowdown in economic growth, he said. 'But the labour market now appears to be in the early stages of a downturn. Today's data are reassuring in that they suggest conditions are not deteriorating quickly. 'Nevertheless, weak economic momentum and global uncertainty will be strong headwinds for the labour market to overcome through the rest of the year.'

Analysis-Lithium rally promises breather for struggling Australian miners

By Melanie Burton MELBOURNE (Reuters) -A recent rally in lithium prices could ease pressure on some beleaguered producers in Australia who have been trying to shrink exposure to the battery material, prompting them to drop plans to sell some projects, sources and analysts said. Shares in Australia's lithium miners have jumped by as much as a third this month and extended gains this week after news of supply cuts in China sparked hopes that the cycle was turning. That follows a years-long fall in prices because electric vehicle sales were slower than expected, forcing lithium companies to mothball operations and more recently to consider disposing of assets to rebuild their balance sheets. Australia's Mineral Resources (MinRes) and Chile's SQM have tried to sell stakes in their operations this year, sources told Reuters on condition of anonymity, while IGO looks to restructure a lithium refining joint venture with China's Tianqi Lithium. Although the rally has been fuelled by speculators, it will soothe producers burning through cash, analysts say. That could take off the table assets once up for sale, losing buyers the chance to acquire them at the bottom of the business cycle at a time when the West is racing to build a battery supply chain outside China. "The common thread in the story is diabolical prices and market conditions," said analyst Dan Morgan of Barrenjoey in Sydney. "All Australian producers would be breathing an enormous sigh of relief ... Some non-palatable and permanent strategic options they had been considering may get put back in the bottom drawer." Prices of hard rock spodumene, the lithium-bearing mineral, have rebounded to about $880 a tonne from a fall to four-year lows near $610 a tonne in mid-June, but remain well short of 2022 peaks above $6,000. "Potentially the worst is over for the sector, but it remains quite difficult to call as it's not clear whether these (cuts) are temporary or permanent," E&P Financial said in a note, referring to China's supply cuts. Giant Chinese electric vehicle battery maker Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) said on Monday it had suspended mining operations in the southern region of Yichun after a mining licence expired on August 9. The surge in share prices was probably fuelled by short-covering rallies, analysts said. Australian lithium miners are among the top five most shorted companies on the ASX stock exchange, says data provider Shortman. SELLING POTENTIAL A sale process by debt-laden MinRes on its Mt Marion and Wodgina lithium assets in Western Australia this year drew Indian and Japanese interest but ultimately failed as buyers balked at the price tag of more than $2 billion, two sources familiar with the matter said, on condition of anonymity. "As a policy, we do not comment on market speculation," said a company spokesman, while adding, "MinRes always looks at opportunities to maximise returns to shareholders." In March, Reuters reported that four Indian state firms were in talks with SQM for a stake of 20% in its two lithium projects in Australia for $600 million, as New Delhi moved to secure supplies of the key EV battery metal. SQM did not have an immediate comment. In the last month, IGO has said it was reviewing options around the loss-making lithium refinery that analysts expect would include a sale of its share. IGO declined to comment. Just as Australia has taken the brunt of the world's production cuts, supply can come back on line, cooling prices. Late last year, its biggest independent producer, Pilbara Minerals, put its Ngungaju plant in Western Australia under care and maintenance because of sustained weakness in spodumene prices. But if conditions improve, the plant could be ramped back up in as little as four months, Pilbara CEO Dale Henderson told reporters on August 1. Sign in to access your portfolio

Australia jobs rebound in July, unemployment dips in major relief

By Wayne Cole SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australian employment rebounded in July as firms took on more full-time workers, data showed on Thursday, pulling the jobless rate down from a 3-1/2 year high and calming concerns the labour market was about to fall over. The upbeat report implied there was less urgency for the Reserve Bank of Australia to follow up this week's rate cut with another in September, and nudged the local dollar up 0.3% to a two-week high at $0.6566. Yet policy makers have indicated more easing is likely should inflation continue to cool as expected and markets remain fully priced for a further quarter point easing to 3.35% in November. "The data are reassuring in that they suggest conditions are not deteriorating quickly," Sean Langcake, Head of Macroeconomic Forecasting for Oxford Economics Australia. "Nevertheless, weak economic momentum and global uncertainty will be strong headwinds for the labour market to overcome through the rest of the year." Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed net employment rose 24,500 in July from June, when it added a meagre 1,000. That was dead in line with market forecasts, while full-time jobs more than recovered a June drop with a jump of 60,500. In a relief for the economic outlook, the jobless rate eased back to 4.2%, from 4.3%, which had been the highest reading since November 2021. The participation rate ticked down to 67.0%, while hours worked rose 0.3% after a pullback in June. The ABS noted female full-time jobs jumped by 40,000 in July and their participation rate rose a record high of 63.5%. The central bank had expected unemployment to rise to around 4.3% this quarter, which is still low by historical standards, and stay there for the foreseeable future. Leading indicators of labour demand have been solid with vacancies still almost 50% above pre-pandemic levels, while there were 1.8 unemployed per vacancy compared to 3.1 back in early 2020. Business surveys are generally upbeat and consumer spending has picked up in the last couple of months as lower borrowing costs and past tax cuts feed through to incomes. RBA Governor Michele Bullock has also flagged the likelihood of at least another 50 basis points of total easing should core inflation continue to moderate from its current 2.7% pace to the mid-point of the central bank's target band of 2% to 3%. While unemployment is low, there is little sign of wages being an inflationary threat with annual pay growth holding at 3.4% in the second quarter, well below its 2023 peak of 4.2%.
