-- 澳洲工業集團週三表示，由於製造業和建築業持續疲軟以及燃油成本上漲帶來的壓力抵消了訂單和就業方面出現的早期穩定跡象，澳洲4月份的工業活動依然處於萎縮狀態。 澳洲工業指數4月上漲9.8點，但仍處於萎縮狀態，為-24.4。 澳洲製造業績效指數上漲0.7點至-27.9，而澳洲建築業績效指數則飆升37.8點至-19.3。製造業疲軟，建築業略有復甦，但由於固定價格合約限制了燃油成本的轉嫁，兩者仍處於萎縮狀態。 4月出現了一些穩定跡象，商業活動指數上漲4.5點至-31.2，就業指數上漲4.5點至-25.2，新訂單指數上漲7.7點至-24.8，反映出先前下滑的部分回升。 投入物價指數上漲13.5點至69.3，銷售物價指數上漲3.9點至23.1，平均薪資指數上漲2.1點至36.2。成本上漲擴大了投入價格與產出價格之間的差距，限制了企業將上漲成本轉嫁給消費者的能力。 燃油價格上漲正透過供應鏈傳導，運輸稅費推高了4月份的通膨，而更廣泛的能源短缺可能會在未來幾個月將價格壓力蔓延至工業材料。
