After falling by a record seven per cent in June, Australia’s economy has bounced back.

GDP growth for the September quarter came in at 3.3 per cent this morning, bringing the country out of a technical recession.

Reflecting the impact of COVID-19, economic growth in annual terms still slumped by 3.8 per cent — the largest fall since World War II.

Local stocks were relatively directionless in morning trade, as the ASX200 edged lower while the Small Ords Index traded flat.

November’s barnstorming rally makes for a more complex setup into December as the global economy emerges from the worst of the crisis (oh, and there’s also plenty of IPOs in the can before markets clock off for Christmas).
