November 10, 20223 yr Good to see Also see the Nasdaq is up a huge 6% on the day. All the indices seem to be flying, what's caused that then? GBP/USD also moving back in the right direction 😁 - up to a whopping £1/£1.166 at the minute.

Perhaps the markets have also had a bit of fun and together with central banks realising qe can't go on for ever, they're now feeling a bit more confident over the longer term. Interest rates also risen to a level many times better than virtually fuck all. Hopefully, now the gilt returns have fallen, and gas price likewise, there might be a little bit more to buy more weaponry for Ukraine, and they can defeat Russia quicker, and help return to a more normal situation.

The problem is that interest rates were slashed to emergency low levels after 2008 issues. Carney, as Osborne's political lapdog, didn't bother to make meaningful upward moves over future years. Now I think there is an understanding that rates need to rise a good way yet to restore balance.

Carney should have been doing this many moons ago. Edited November 10, 20223 yr by globaldiver
November 10, 20223 yr Apparently markets like it when the president of US is one party and the senate is majority for the opposition. Stops a loon pushing through anything that would spook the markets. Or something like that.

November 10, 20223 yr Not sure if anyone is looking.. Housing Markets are slowing it would seem. Everything sold at asking within a week or two 6 months ago... I'm watching one house in particular knock 5k off asking every week it seems (well over priced anyway). Sold rates seem to be slowing too.

My missus does viewings 1 or 2 days a week for an estate agents and they say market has just stalled. Talk of prices falling puts off buyers, especially if mortgage costs are going up. They have told her only needed 1 day a week till after Xmas , she says 75% of viewings are now rentals. She also said if someone has a foreign name they are less likely to turn up when it is a rental.

They put the For Sale board up anyway probably in the hope of a bidding war.
