On a monthly basis, the index rose 2.6%, extending its streak to eight consecutive monthly increases and highlighting sustained momentum across both rural and non-rural segments. Despite declines in iron ore and alumina, the broad-based strength underscores a robust upswing in Australia’s commodity cycle, with the index also posting a 2.1% annual gain in local currency terms.
