Australia’s commodity prices maintained a strong pace of annual growth in September 2026, with the year-over-year indicator unchanged at 15.5%. The latest data, updated on 1 October 2026, show no change from August 2026, when commodity prices were also 15.5% higher compared with the same month a year earlier.
The figures reflect sustained strength in Australia’s commodity sector rather than an acceleration or slowdown, as both the “previous” (August) and “current” (September) readings compare each month with its level a year ago and arrive at the same rate of 15.5%. This suggests that, on a year-over-year basis, the pace of commodity price growth has plateaued at a relatively elevated level.
With commodity prices playing a significant role in Australia’s export revenues and broader economic performance, the stable 15.5% annual increase in September points to a continued supportive backdrop for the resource-driven segments of the economy, while offering no early sign of either renewed price surges or sharp easing in year-over-year gains.
