The Australian share market closed nearly flat Thursday after a volatile session marked by weak employment data. Mining stocks slumped while financials rallied, offsetting losses. Market focus shifted to interest rate expectations, with weaker-than-expected job numbers reducing bets on further RBA hikes this year. Upcoming inflation data and US earnings remain key catalysts for direction ahead.
