 Bottom line is it's not flagging any inflation pressures, at least on a core basis. |
| Bubble conditions may not be present yet but are approaching such and thus require close monitoring going forward. To allay this concern, housing price increases will need to start to moderate soon from recent sharp increases. Our expectation is that this should occur, since rising mortgage rates should slow the growth in housing prices to a rate below gains in income. |
| But in the current environment, interest rates are not rising to punitive levels; rather, the current tightening is meant to keep growth at a sustainable pace. |
| Canada seems to be getting support from strengthening commodity prices. |
| Despite solid growth, inflation is quiet which is reflected in low bond yields. |
| Given that we import a lot of capital equipment, this further strengthening of the Canadian dollar does make a lot of those investment goods that much cheaper. |
| Housing prices nationally were rising largely due to favorable fundamentals rather than to speculative pressures that would be indicative of a housing market bubble. However, the situation seems to have changed recently. Affordability has deteriorated significantly in the second and third quarters of 2005 as housing price increases have spiked higher. As a result, affordability is quickly closing the gap relative to this measure's long-run historical average. |
| It's suggesting this structural change playing out in the U.S. economy seems to still be continuing. |
| Markets are probably waiting for the announcement by the Bank of Canada tomorrow to get a sense of the characterization of the near-term outlook for policy: whether they'll flag they're poised to move to the sidelines or whether they're still contemplating further rate hikes. |
| Pressures are particularly evident in the West where housing prices in local markets such as Riverside-San Bernardino (outside of Los Angeles) and Las Vegas are rising rapidly with an attendant marked deterioration in affordability. Rising prices in those areas seem more the result of speculative pressures and thus indicative of local housing market bubbles. There is the definite risk in these markets that prices will eventually need to correct sharply lower. |
| Recent comments by Fed officials on indications that the U.S. economy had a fair bit of momentum going into the natural disaster seems to have resulted in the consensus of the Fed continuing to hike rates, |
| So at the moment, markets generally assume the Fed will continue to tighten. That expectation is generally resulting in the U.S. dollar strengthening, though the Canadian dollar seems to be holding its own. |
| The Canadian dollar is doing fairly well this morning, in part because of a generally weak U.S. dollar. Canada is also being helped by oil prices remaining high, as a result of political instability in a number of the producing areas. |
| The Canadian dollar is holding fairly steady. Looking ahead, we're not getting too much economic news until next week. |
| The currency is pretty steady, with markets remaining fairly thin with little economic data. We're awaiting deeper markets, plus the release of employment reports for both Canada and the U.S. next week. |
