Love a bit of football and economics. All views are my own.

"Robert Lewandowski leaves Barcelona as free agent"

"Dusan Vlahovic leaves Juventus as free agent"

"Jadon Sancho leaves Man United as free agent after 5 years since joining on £75m deal from BVB."

Noticing.

I remember when Real Madrid admin team doctored the photo to make it look like they had more white shirts in the crowd 😆.

Domestic inflation on a 6m annualised basis (SA) is still annualising at 4.7%. This is way too high!! Let's see if those recent rate hikes help with this !!

[Anthony Malouf Jr @MaloufJr]

Domestic inflation definitely remains a concern for the RBA!

@Hosang @Johnny_Takes11 "Dead rubbers towards the end of the season".

This is the table since Carrick took over btw! Keep running your mouth about how good Amorim was though!!!

[Anthony Malouf Jr @MaloufJr]

Amorim had us believing we had to suffer and finish 15th to get ahead. May I also add the treatment of Mainoo? Jimmy, get over Amorim mate. He was an atrocious appointment.

This is further supported by the underemployment rate ticking down to 5.8% (from 5.9%), as employers are likely able to give existing staff more hours/work.

[Anthony Malouf Jr @MaloufJr]

Interestingly, whilst employment did fall (-0.1% mom), monthly hours worked jumped 0.8% mom which could be an early indication of employers trying to squeeze more output out of existing staff as margins are being squeezed as a result of the growing uncertainty.

[Anthony Malouf Jr @MaloufJr]

Like Alex has stated monthly series can be quite volatile. If you take a step back and look at employment growth on a 3m/3m basis, things still look OK. However, it could indicate the start of some cooling which is what you'd expect given the current environment we are in!

[Alex Joiner 🇦🇺 @IFM_Economist]

First glance at labour force. Ugly.

It is a volatile series but the trend in the unemployment rate is clearly up. This will give the RBA pause for thought, it needs to be hawkish on inflation but that's a lot easier to do when the unemployment rate is low.

Ouch, that is a rough LFS report. #ausecon

Interesting chart from the latest RBA speech which shows that disinflationary trends leads to a rise in the UR. Reminder, the RBA only expect a modest rise in the UR (0.4% higher from the current 4.3% rate), which is different to what this chart shows!! #ausecon
