AUSTRALIA: Alongside the release of the latest weekly ANZ-Roy Morgan Australian

Consumer Confidence reading ANZ noted that "confidence continues to decline as

the situation in Melbourne worsens and the number of cases in Sydney rises. The

decline in sentiment is nowhere near as severe as the fall seen in mid-March,

however. The resilience shown by the 'current finances' sub-index, which has

actually risen a touch since the end of May as overall sentiment has fallen by

almost 8%, is also encouraging. Australia's success in combating the first surge

in the pandemic, as well as the expectation that the Government stands ready to

extend support if required, is underpinning this resilience."
