A Further Sign The Boom Is Over
A report from the Sydney Morning Herald in Australia. “Cracks are showing in the Sydney property market, with prices now falling for the first time over a 12-month period since the boom began. The harbour city recorded a 0.5 per cent drop in housing prices in the year to February, CoreLogic data shows. This figure includes apartments and houses. The median property value now stands at $880,743, after the first 12-month decline since 2012. Over the three months to February, Sydney prices dropped 2.4 per cent. This was the weakest result in the country.”
“Sydney property prices are now 3.7 per cent below their peak in July 2017, representing a drop in their median price of about $35,000. At the Property Council of Australia’s NSW Residential Outlook, HSBC chief economist Paul Bloxham expected prices to slow across Sydney. However, he broadly expected Australia to benefit from an ‘economic recovery’ that was underway globally. This underpins the case for the Reserve Bank to increase interest rates in the future, he said.”
From Bloomberg. “Australian home prices fell for a fifth consecutive month in February, in a further sign the property boom is over. Prices in Sydney, the epicenter of the boom, are down 0.5 percent from a year earlier — the first annual decline since 2012. ‘Considering the tighter credit environment, the eventual prospect of higher interest rates and ongoing housing affordability constraints, we expect housing market conditions will remain sedate relative to previous years,’ CoreLogic’s head of research Tim Lawless said.”
From Domain News. “One ’silver lining’ of investors retreating from Sydney’s property market is that developers will be forced to lift their standards, industry experts say. While the withdrawal of investors could spark a slowdown of the ‘much-needed’ supply of apartments, it’s also likely to prompt developers to rethink the homes they’re building. ‘No question, investors are retracing,’ said Frasers Property Australia chief executive Rod Fehring.”
“However there is a ’silver lining,’ according to Stockland CEO Mark Steinert, who thinks the retreat of local and foreign investors will prompt developers to deliver better properties. Mr Steinert said restrictions on the outflow of money from China and tighter lending restrictions in Australia could see the supply shift away from apartments aimed at investors. ‘It’s going to challenge everybody for a little bit of time because you can’t just go and do a launch and sell out on day one and orientate towards the investor, you have to think carefully as to who is going to occupy that space,’ he said.”
“‘The market is starting to ask itself questions about how long easy money will be in place, interest rates have been extraordinarily low for some time,’ HSBC chief economist Paul Bloxham said. ‘Sydney is obviously showing some signs of prices falling at the moment – I don’t think that’s going to persist. I think we’re going to see low single digit rates of house price growth going forward – it is hard to get house prices to fall in any sort of decent way without the unemployment rate rising.’”
The Australian Financial Review. “Developers are offering commission payments of $30,000 and trebling apartment sizes in a bid to attract new buyers as investor demand slides and prices begin to fall, analysis of deals reveals. Luxury fixtures interest on deposits, part payment of stamp duty and cash rebates are also being offered ‘free’ to encourage buyers squeezed by tougher lending conditions and lower expectations of price growth, it reveals.”
“Financial advisers and mortgage brokers are being offered a share of $30,000 commission plus GST by developers and builders, with half paid on exchange of a property and the balance on settlement. Mortgage brokers claim slowing demand means it is increasingly a buyers’ market and recommend buyers ask questions about any incentive payments and request rebates. Developers are also offering to do deals that amalgamate multiple apartments, or offering entire floors.”
“For example, OSK Property’s $2.8 billion Melbourne Square project in Southbank, and CBus Property developments in nearby Spring Street are offering top-end off-the-plan buyers the option of amalgamations. Falling prices, four-year low credit growth, high debt, stagnant wages and fears about over-supply in key markets are combining to slow housing growth, according to analysis by investment bank UBS.”
“‘The drop in credit growth – to an annual rate of about 4.9 per cent – suggests macroprudential policy is starting to have a more material negative impact on housing with negative wealth effects to constrain consumption,’ according to its analysis.”
“The rush of supply in apartments in Sydney in the past five years has caught up with demand, giving rise to a cap on price rises, according to BIS Oxford Economics. While there has been an under-supply of dwellings including apartments before the boom of 2012 to 2017, there were 47,200 apartment construction starts in 2016-17, doubling from 23,100 in 2012-13, against underlying demand of about 42,500.”
From Radio Australia. “Australian housing values have slipped for the fifth straight month, as the crackdown on interest-only lending continues to dampen housing demand. That was the key finding of national property report by CoreLogic, which found housing values — on a national basis — fell 0.8 per cent since September 2016. ‘This was fuelled by tighter credit policies, particularly focused on investment and interest-only lending, which reduced demand from that part of the market,’ said CoreLogic’s head of research Tim Lawless.”
‘The report found, over the past month, values fell across every capital city except Hobart and Adelaide. Sydney values have fallen 3.7 per cent since its peak of July 2016, Mr Lawless said. ‘It’s not like the Sydney market is crashing — it’s more a controlled or managed slowdown, largely due to a reduction of investment in the marketplace.’”
From Nine News. “A new report has identified Australia’s worst property spots, listing 24 negative growth traps for investors to avoid. Two Western Australian suburbs have made the report, which was based on Core Logic data from the 12 months leading up to November 2017. Burswood is named WA’s worst housing market performer with a 37.2 percent decline. Crawley also made the national list because of its unit market which plunged 46.2 percent in value with over supply to blame, according to the report.”
“The slump comes as housing affordability is still a major concern for Australians. Research released by the Salvation Army has revealed almost half the country, 9.9 million, believe owning their own home is unattainable.”
‘It’s not like the Sydney market is crashing — it’s more a controlled or managed slowdown’

Treasury yields slide as Powell’s Senate testimony gets under way

U.S. Government Bonds Surge on Trump Tariffs
Investors said president’s move could curb economic growth
By Daniel Kruger
Updated March 1, 2018 5:20 p.m. ET
U.S. government bonds rallied Thursday after President Donald Trump announced he would impose tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum, which investors said could curb economic growth.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note posted its biggest one-day decline since Sept. 5 to 2.802% from 2.870% Wednesday. Yields fall as bond prices rise.
…
I’m ready for Pense. It’s been fun but tariffs are stupid.
I like tariffs. More tariffs! You do realize this is how we used to pay for our government, before income taxes? I guess that’s too much to expect even given your screen name.
I guess we can look forward to obtaining another data point to back or refute whether the 1930s Smoot-Hawley Tariffs were as destructive as most economists claim.
1893- till less tariffs and modern banking etc
that’s when the tariff system failed
In the late 19 th century, the Harrison administration was actually worried that the US had *too much* money from all the Tarrifs. Of course, this was the Gilded Age when gov spent almost no money on social services.
Anyway, Hillary herself mocked Trump in one of the debates for using Chinese steel. So surely even she supports the tarrifs as well, right?
Falling US bond yields during times of stock market stress/drops is not strange at all. It is simply a matter of seeking a safe haven in which to store cash after selling stocks, which causes high demand, which causes UST prices to rise and yields to drop correspondingly. The big boys cannot store all their cash in FDIC-insured bank accounts.They must buy bonds instead.
If you look at corporate bonds instead or UST bonds, the yields are indeed rising and the prices are falling (look at the JNK ETF symbol, for example).
Take it from Uncle Warren: Stocks and bonds are more similar than not. And both are in for a hammering if the Fed finds itself behind the curve in controlling inflation, as happened in the 1970s.

Stocks Are More Similar to Bonds Than You Think
Ignore conventional wisdom, inflation can harm both at the same time.
by Ben Carlson
March 1, 2018, 6:00 AM PST
Warren Buffett called it in the 1970s. Photographer: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
Historical data show that stocks tend to post strong performances during periods of rising interest rates but only below-average results when inflation is rising or above average.
This counterintuitive dynamic was explained by Warren Buffett in 1977 in “Why Inflation Swindles the Equity Investor,” which he wrote as the U.S. was experiencing some of the worst price increases in its history. Buffett showed that inflation can wreak havoc on bond investors because it causes their periodic income payments to depreciate over time. But he said stocks are more like bonds than most investors realize:
He also demonstrated that the return on equity, or book value, has been relatively stable over time across a number of different economic regimes. ROE measures how much profit a corporation generates for every $1 of shareholder equity. So if the returns on that shareholder equity don’t change much over time, inflation would gradually eat into those returns, causing a lower payout to investors in the form of profits.
…
What Buffet seems to have neglected in his comparison is a key difference between the revenue flows underlying stocks and bonds (at least low-risk bonds like long-term Treasurys). Corporate earnings are flush during boom times and lean during recessions. When set by market forces, long-term Treasury yields are similarly procylical, due to heightened credit demand during booms coupled with a flight-to-quality during busts, though less volatile than corporate earnings. But most importantly, the yield on long-term Treasurys you own is fixed, that is it won’t dry up in a recession the way corporate earnings that impact the value of your stocks will. Uncle Warren’s focus on average returns missed this important driver of the flight-to-quality into Treasurys during periods of declining corporate earnings.
However, given that we are currently exiting a period when long-term Treasury yields were artificially suppressed, I’m not sure how well the traditional relationship between stock and bond prices will hold up in the near future.

Treasury yields drop as Trump announces steel, aluminum tariffs
By Mark DeCambre and Sunny Oh
Published: Mar 1, 2018 4:17 p.m. ET
Fed’s Powell sees no significant wage pressures
Treasury prices rallied Thursday, pushing down yields, with investors rushing into government paper after the Trump administration’s decision to impose global tariffs on steel and aluminum imports triggered a stock-market selloff.
Also, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said he saw no signs of significant wage pressure in congressional testimony, language that some investors saw as an attempt to walk back his hawkish comments earlier in the week.
How were Treasurys performing?
The 10-year Treasury note yield (TMUBMUSD10Y, -0.16%) fell 6.7 basis points to 2.802%, marking the largest one-day fall since Sept. 5, according to WSJ Market Data Group.
The 2-year note yield (TMUBMUSD02Y, +0.54%) the most influenced by the monetary policy outlook, slipped 5.6 basis points to 2.206%, the biggest one-day dip in three weeks. The 30-year bond yield (TMUBMUSD30Y, -0.12%) declined 4.6 basis points to 3.084%.
The last two days of trading helped to erase part of the selloff in February when a resurgence of inflation anxieties sapped appetite for bonds.
Bond yields fall as prices rise.
What is driving markets?
Treasurys rallied after President Donald Trump announced tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, sending stock prices lower. Nervous investors jumped into government paper in pursuit of havens where they could take shelter from the market volatility.
Bond prices initially rose after Powell told the Senate Banking Committee he saw no sign of significant wage inflation, but he expected wages to rise in the future. This comes two days after his first appearance on Capitol Hill, a test of his early days as head of the Fed, roiled currency, bond and stock markets, sending debt yields higher and stocks tumbling.
The market had interpreted Powell’s comments on Tuesday as implying that the Fed might be more aggressive than expected as it attempts to tamp down inflation amid a healthier outlook for the U.S. economy. But today’s remarks appeared to walk back the hawkish tone. Bonds generally benefit from a more gentle pace of monetary tightening.

“Sandra Roelofs, the Dutch-born wife of Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili, has recently promoted a program encouraging Afrikaans South African farmers to migrate to Georgia. The country is actively recruiting Afrikaner farmers to help revive the nation’s moribund agriculture. In the 20 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, half of Georgia’s farmland has gone out of production.”

Stocks now risk retesting February sell-off lows on trade-war fears
- March rolled in like a lion, taking a big bite out of stock market gains, and it may be a sign of more to come as investors consider a more aggressive trade policy from the White House, analysts said.
- The S&P broke an important threshold Thursday but held its 100-day moving average.
- However, some strategists said the threat of a trade war could mean stocks could retest the lows of February.

March rolled in like a lion, taking a big bite out of stock market gains, and it may be a sign of more to come as investors consider a more aggressive trade policy from the White House, analysts said.
Many strategists have been expecting the market to recover from February’s lows without a retest, but this week’s harsh sell-off has some rethinking the outlook. Stocks were already having a bad week before President Donald Trump announced new sweeping tariffs on steel and aluminum Thursday.
The Dow lost 420 points to 24,608 on the first day of March and was on track for a 2.8 percent decline for the week as of late Thursday. The S&P 500 plummeted below the key 2,700 level, dropping to 2,677, or 1.3 percent, in Tuesday trading. That sent up a warning that more technical damage could be ahead.
…
so it appears trump is making the same mistakes as the bush’s.
So who gets to keep all the tariffs that are collected?
Were your conservative books burned or I mean channel taken down by YouTube?
“But it was the market’s response that broke the camel’s back: what followed immediately after the tariffs were announced was a 30% plunge in the S&P 500, a slump in the dollar and a rally in bonds that slashed 10Y yields in half.
After receiving the verdict, both from the market and the WTO, the United States backed down and withdrew the tariffs on December 4, 2003.”

seems like trump is using this as a negotiating tool.
I agree. He’s also settling some scores, bigly. Probably the biggest move of his presidency.
Does he have a lot of enemies on Wall Street?
Judging from the howls emanating from the Wall Street Journal and reports of Gary Cohn preparing to commit seppuku, I’d say so.
But it appears he’s settling some foreign country scores as well.

“Between the March 2009 bottom and the January 26, 2018 peak, the S&P 500 index advanced at an 18% annual rate in an economy that grew at just 3.7% per annum in nominal terms. Yet in that trees-which-grow-to-the-sky context, there was no downside risk for C-suites which diverted cash flow and debt capacity into stock buybacks or vanity M&A projects: Their stock option packages kept getting ever fatter and there was no board or stock market punishment for buying at temporarily high stock prices which subsequently fell back to earth—even as interest expense remained permanently enlarged.
Over the past decade, there has been no corporate instrument of mistruth more powerful than buybacks, an issue we have dissected in these pages for years. U.S. firms have spent roughly $4 trillion on buybacks since 2009, making corporations the biggest single source of demand for U.S. shares. According to Artemis’s calculations, buybacks have “accounted for +40% of the total earnings-per-share growth since 2009, and an astounding +72% of the earnings growth since 2012.”

“This Fed isn’t going to try to bail out every whiner on Wall Street. It has been clear about that. It won’t take Wall-Street whining seriously until credit starts freezing up – and the credit markets are far away from that.”
so what level on the s&P does trump get a fed lifeline? I need numbers, not more bs out of u today.
What u need from me is a HELOC.
And by mid-2018 the Fed (by it’s own projections) will no longer be buyers of any MBS.
They won’t be sellers, mind you (yet), but they won’t be buying any more…simply letting the bonds they have mature without repurchasing.
By the way, I think the article misstates what the Fed is doing. The $20B per month, etc. is the CAP on how much they will reduce their balance sheet.
Initially, that cap will definitely be met each and every month. However, by the end of 2018, the amount of principal repayment for both US Treasuries and MBS will be less than the $50B self-imposed cap. It is yet to be seen whether the Fed will be active sellers of bonds on the open market, or whether they will simply reduce their balance sheet as debt matures.
I suspect it will be the latter…if it all works as expected, rates will be higher (bonds will be worth less), and the Fed probably doesn’t want to press of “taking losses” by being active sellers of the bonds.
In other words, a decade out, I suspect the Fed’s balance sheet will still not be “normal”.
