What a surprise usually does
Above the forecast: A clear beat can support the Australian dollar, particularly if growth is broad and demand is not simply creating more inflation risk.
Below the forecast: A weak or negative result can weigh on the currency as markets price a softer economy and potentially easier RBA policy.
In line with the forecast: The Australian dollar usually reacts to the details and revisions; an in-line headline limits the initial move.
