More Rate Rises Ahead – Almost Certainly!

The RBA Minutes certainly took the wind out of the sails of those expecting a rate cut anytime soon. More hikes are being signalled, and in fact Morgan Stanley flagged that the markets had got ahead of themselves.

The 30 Day Implied rates are also moving higher. So those being influenced by the spruikers saying now is good buying should be cautious. Things are more complex.

Pop Goes The Property Investor…

Many property investors are choosing to leave the field, leading to a rise in the number of ex-investment property being listed for sale. There are many reasons why this is occurring, and we explore some of them today.

But in short, the marginal costs of borrowing on a rental mortgage have risen far faster than the rental income. And given the limited prospects of capital gains, and the removal of some offsetting perks from a tax perspective, investors are exercising their rights to quit. Another reason why rental supply is so limited, and a sign again of how broken the system is.

London’s Rental Crisis Is Barking Mad…

The property crisis we see in Australia is being replicated in other places too, including the UK, where again the rental sector is in the centre of the storm. So we look at a recent article from the AFR, which highlights the pressures on the system, with large rental increases, massive demand for accommodation, whilst supply is reducing due to policy changes. Once again it is an object lesson in market failure.
