Aussie Business Conditions' Jump Raises Job Creation Hope

        0243 GMT [Dow Jones] The upward trend in Australian business conditions continues to point to stronger domestic demand growth going forward and is consistent with a gradual improvement in the non-mining sectors of the economy, says ANZ economist Dylan Eades. In addition, measures of firms' profitability and spare capacity improved in October, Eades says. "These components have a strong leading relationship with employment growth and the unemployment rate and are consistent with better labor market conditions," he adds.
