GDP came in at .2% for the Sep Qtr which was well below the average forecast at .5%.  Full Year growth has been forecasted lower now as a result of this low number.

This is showing that the Australian economy is slowing and that any further rate hikes are unlikely.  This is likely to cause further selling in the Aussie dollar in the short term and have a negative impact to our broader market. 

The Australian economy has just possibly seen an end to it's honeymoon period.
