Digital Finance Analytics (DFA) Blog ·

2024/08/15

You have to ask the question: are the ABS stats on employment, which were released today, meaningful?

2024/08/14

Interesting question, who you believe more the markets, or Central Bankers. Of course those in Central Bank land, will claim data dependence, and moving targets, and as RBA Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser warned recently it’s a risk to listen to “false prophets” on interest rates; and yet after several false dawns, New Zealand’s central bank … Continue reading "Kiwis Get A Rate Cut As The Reserve Bank Pivots!"

The Sham Build To Rent Property Solution…

Digital Finance Analytics (DFA) Blog ·

2024/08/09

Demand for a place to live remains very high, driven by population growth from mega-high migration and low but perhaps improving vacancy rates in the rental sector. We know that roughly one third of households own their own property, outright, one third own with a mortgage, and one third rent.
