A leading index for the Australian economy moved higher in April, the latest survey from Westpac Bank and the Melbourne Institute showed on Wednesday – rising 0.11 percent on month to a score of 98.17.
That followed the 0.3 percent decline to 98.0 in March.
The six-month annualized deviation from trend growth climbed from -0.02 percent in March to +0.43 percent in April.
“The Australian economy has regained some momentum although the growth pulse is still not particularly strong,” Westpac said in a statement accompanying the data.
