Commodity prices, weaker dollar help bring closer our first current account surplus since the 1970s.

The RBA has rolled out its first back-to-back cuts in rates since mid-2012, but the heavy lifting isn’t complete.

The unemployment rate was higher than predicted in May, stoking the case for another rate cut.

The RBA cut rates to get a lower sustainable unemployment rate, but it admits it’s working in the dark.
