AUSTRALIA'S central bank says coming data on inflation and employment will be critical for interest rates at its next meeting on Nov 1, opening the door to a possible easing in policy.
A cut would surprise markets, which are pricing in only a small chance of an easing this year or next as Australia's A$1.6 trillion (S$1.7 trillion) economy marks a quarter century of growth without recession.
