As the source gives it

What a surprise usually does

Above the forecast: An upside surprise, especially with persistent underlying inflation, can lift the Australian dollar meaningfully by shifting expected RBA rates higher.

Below the forecast: A downside surprise can weaken the Australian dollar by bringing rate cuts closer, particularly if inflation is moving sustainably toward target.

In line with the forecast: The Australian dollar may move modestly as traders parse the components, but the headline itself adds little new rate information.
