“It is clear that the economy has lost momentum,” saidCraig James, a senior economist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the nation’s biggest lender. “For the Reserve Bank, the safest place is on the interest-rate sidelines.”

Australian job advertisements dropped in May by the most in two years, declining 6.5 percent from April, according to an Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. report this week. The country recorded its biggest annual job gain on record last year.
