As the source gives it

What a surprise usually does

Above the forecast: A clear rise above forecast can weaken the Australian dollar as it signals labour-market slack and may bring rate cuts closer.

Below the forecast: A lower-than-expected rate can support the Australian dollar, especially if employment gains and participation confirm a genuinely tight market.

In line with the forecast: The currency may still react to jobs growth or participation, but an in-line rate usually limits the response.
