IPC Index — Mexico MarketAustralia’s 10-year government bond yield fell below 5% on Thursday, extending declines for a third straight session and hitting a two-week low as softer labor market data reduced expectations of further rate hikes. Australia’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose to 4.5% in April 2026, above both March’s reading and market expectations of 4.3%, and marking the highest jobless rate since November 2021. At the same time, employment unexpectedly dropped by 18,600 to 14.74 million, sharply missing forecasts for a 17,500 increase and posting the first monthly decline since November 2025. This led investors to pare back bets on further monetary tightening following the Reserve Bank of Australia’s three consecutive rate hikes. Reinforcing the dovish outlook, preliminary business activity data showed that manufacturing growth slowed, with the PMI easing to 50.3 in May from 51.3 in April, while the services PMI slipped into contraction territory at 47.7 from 50.7 previously.
