New data highlights the housing affordability issues across Australia, and another major bank comes out with a forecast fall in home prices ahead. Things in property are getting interesting. So I am now waiting for the next Government response – how about yet more first time buyer bribes, or financial support direct to developers? With an election in the wind, the Government will want to find some way to prop up the market for the next few months, before a later collapse. So expect more unnatural acts ahead – unnatural from an economic and social perspective but unfortunately totally logical from a win at all costs, never mind the price attitude we have seen from this Government.

As the northern hemisphere falls towards winter, the economic signs are not promising.
The world economy is approaching the northern hemisphere winter in disarray, unable to shake off the coronavirus crisis amid persisting supply disruptions, soaring prices and resurgent outbreaks.
Global surveys of purchasing managers this week are likely to point that way. Among the outcomes anticipated by economists are slowing manufacturing and services activity throughout the euro zone and the U.K., and only modest improvement in the U.S.

In today’s show we have a brief look at the markets as the contention between inflation fears, rates rises and more lock downs rose to fever pitch – pun intended. The markets are still banking on more Central Bank support.
So the NASDAQ Composite Index closed above the 16,000 mark for the first time on Friday, in its second-straight record finish, while the Dow succumbed to its fourth losing session in the last five. The Dow Jones Industrial Average’s second-successive weekly loss wiped out the last of its November gains, extending the index’s drop from a Nov. 8 record high.

I am old enough to remember the 1970’s when central bankers were claiming inflation was temporary, before it took off into the teens and beyond. While I am not suggesting history will repeat, we can see the weird dynamic, with greed driving markets one way, inflation fears pulling in a different direction, and renewed lock-downs in some places adding to the uncertainty.
Global markets have surged during the pandemic, fueled by massive stimulus that has also stoked profits at banks such as Goldman. Concern is now rising that accelerating inflation will pose a challenge to a sustained recovery as central banks may be forced to raise interest rates in response.

We look at the latest from the Reserve Bank, and consider the mismatch between the RBA view and market view of rates. There a a cogitative dissonance between the two.
Underlying this is the horrid truth, both Government and RBA seems to want to keep rates below inflation, thus disadvantaging savers while supporting more lending, despite the high leverage. This leaves the high risk of policy missteps, especially if the FED lists rates to tackle inflation.

The Alarm Bells Are Ringing: With Tarric Brooker [Podcast]
Like it or not the shadow of inflation continues to cast a long shadow over the markets and the economy. No surprise then that Wall Street lost ground on Wednesday as surging consumer prices fueled fears of a longer-than-expected wave of heightened inflation. As a result, all three major U.S. stock indexes were in negative territory, extending their losses and adding to Tuesday’s sell-off which snapped the S&P 500’s and Nasdaq’s eight-session runs of all-time closing highs.

In today’s show we review the weeks action on the markets, as stock reach new highs in the light of dovish comments from several central banks, which took some of the tops off bonds, and cast inflation fears in a fresh light, despite the fact that the costs of many things are rising due to the supply chain issues.
The major US indices ended the week at record highs Friday as a better-than-expected monthly jobs report and positive Covid-19 treatment news triggered a sea of green across Wall Street.
