Watch The next 24 hours bring the RBA Interest Rate Decision at 2026-09-29 04:30 UTC, with forecast 4.6 and prior 4.35, and JOLTs Job Openings at 2026-09-29 14:00 UTC, with forecast 7.24 and prior 7.271. The JOLTs print is the more important for the US Risk-Off regime: a reading below forecast 7.24 would confirm labor market cooling and support the negative volatility factor, while a reading above prior 7.271 would contradict the current risk-off tilt. The RBA outcome matters for global tightening expectations: a hike to 4.6 would reinforce pressure on rate-sensitive assets, while a hold at 4.35 would challenge the calendar consensus.
