Roy Morgan Research’s Business Confidence jumped 6.8 per cent to 119.5 in June 2016. The rise in Business Confidence comes despite a downward trend on the Australian sharemarket in June – the All Ordinaries closed at the end of June at 5,310.40 (down 2.5 per cent -or 137.4 points – from May 31). However, the large rise in Business Confidence in June was likely more tied to the perception in the closing weeks of the Federal Election campaign that the Coalition would retain Government with a narrow victory – which turned out to be correct – despite a week of uncertainty following the Election. The increased level of Roy Morgan Business Confidence in June is now back above the five-year average (116.7).
