There is concern that Malaysia may be experiencing a housing bubble. Housing bubbles occur when demand, speculation, and the belief that past housing price increases will continue fuel rapidly rising home prices. This is usually due to limited supply and increasing demand. Speculators enter the market, further driving prices up. Eventually, demand declines or stops growing as supply increases, leading to a sharp drop in home values and a bursting of the bubble. However, the Malaysian government maintains that there is no housing bubble in the country's economy currently.

Currencies, Tbill & Bond Yields, Inflation, DeflationAlan Dixon ~ PathosCrescendo

Currencies fluctuate in value as they strengthen or weaken against other currencies. When a currency strengthens, its purchasing power increases, imports become more affordable, and domestic goods and services become more expensive. When a currency weakens, its purchasing power decreases, exports become cheaper, and domestic inflation is mitigated. A country's monetary policy, including interest rates, affects currency fluctuations and bond trading, which in turn impacts the economy, inflation, and wealth distribution through sectors of society.201605_Ardea_Inflation_Risk_Volatility__-_Ardea

1) The document discusses hedging against inflation risk and volatility. It argues that while inflation expectations are currently low, unexpected inflation shocks are still possible and could significantly impact portfolios.
2) It presents two case studies of strategies to hedge inflation risk: 1) structurally investing in inflation-linked bonds to minimize basis risk against unexpected inflation, and 2) using derivatives to build asymmetry and profit from changes in the inflation expectations curve by taking a defensive position.
3) The key point is that while low inflation is expected, investors should still insure against unexpected upside inflation volatility through strategies like those presented, as protection is cheap when expectations are low.Lattice Energy LLC-Larsen Memo re Stock Indexes vs Gold Price Ratios-August 1...

The document analyzes anomalies in S&P/gold and Dow/gold ratios, suggesting that U.S. equities are unusually inexpensive compared to gold amidst fears of inflation and market volatility. It argues that current energy prices are historically high due to fundamental demand-driven changes, while inflation rates remain low, reflecting a weak economy. The author concludes that despite short-term market fluctuations, the U.S. stock market is likely to outperform other assets in the next 5 to 10 years.Pressures on Pakistan Rupee
Pressures on Pakistan RupeeVaqar Ahmed

The Pakistani rupee recently fell sharply against the US dollar, losing almost 5% of its value. This devaluation was unexpected as the outgoing Finance Minister and Central Bank Governor had both recently claimed the currency was near its equilibrium value. However, the widening fiscal and trade deficits increased pressure on the rupee. While short term exports may increase if energy supplies are stable, higher import costs and debt repayments will likely fuel inflation in the long run. The interim government must ensure transparency around any short term debt agreements made with China to stabilize the currency.Module 32 money, output, and prices in the long run

An increase in the money supply leads to higher aggregate output and prices in the short-run. However, in the long-run only prices are affected, as output returns to potential output. This is because a rise in prices induces a leftward shift of the short-run aggregate supply curve over time, returning output to potential. Therefore, monetary policy can impact real variables in the short-run but is neutral in the long-run, with only nominal aggregates like prices being permanently affected.Krugman IS-LM Model
Krugman IS-LM Modelmasterr1
油
IS-LM is a model that reconciles two views of how interest rates are determined: the loanable funds approach and the liquidity preference approach. It shows these as two curves (IS and LM) that intersect, determining both GDP and the interest rate. The IS curve shows the combinations of interest rates and GDP consistent with loanable funds, while the LM curve shows the combinations consistent with liquidity preference. This model is useful for understanding situations like the current economic crisis, where private demand has fallen so much that the economy remains depressed even at a zero interest rate, known as a liquidity trap. In a liquidity trap, the LM curve is flat at zero interest since cash would be held instead of bonds if ratesRising Interest Rates

The document discusses the effects of rising interest rates on the economy, highlighting a negative impact on consumer spending, financial asset values, and overall demand. Increased interest rates lead to higher borrowing costs for individuals and businesses, resulting in reduced expenditure and a potential rise in unemployment. While foreign investments may increase due to higher returns, the impacts on exports and overall economic health are concerning.Fiat currency7

Central banks around the world are printing large amounts of money to pay debts and obligations, which will likely lead to higher inflation. This "race to debase" currencies is a desperate attempt to stimulate exports and reduce debt, but it ultimately devalues currencies. Silver remains undervalued and a strategic commodity due to strong industrial demand and limited above-ground supplies. While paper markets can manipulate prices temporarily, physical supply and demand fundamentals will determine silver's true value over the long run. Investors are buying silver now as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement.LBS - Asset Allocation Model - July 2017 Update

This document discusses how inflation affects investments. It explains that inflation erodes the purchasing power of money over time. Investors need to earn returns higher than the inflation rate to maintain purchasing power. The large government spending to address the pandemic may cause inflation if excess money enters the economy faster than new goods and services. To fight inflation, the government raises interest rates to reduce money supply and slow economic growth. Investors should examine how different assets may perform during inflationary periods and adjust their portfolios accordingly.Why value is poised to outperform

Value investors in Europe have outperformed in the last two years compared to the US, which is unusual. This is because the improving European economy contrasted with a disappointing US economy. As a result, investors favored growth stocks in the US and value stocks in Europe, leading to divergence in valuation spreads between the two regions. Looking forward, the document argues that leading indicators now point to better conditions for value stocks, including increased inflation expectations and a positive economic surprise index. Valuation spreads remain high in the US, signaling potential for value stocks to rebound there as well as in Europe.Et tu draghi final

The document discusses the subprime mortgage crisis of the late 2000s. It defines prime and subprime loans, and explains that the crisis occurred when the housing bubble burst after many subprime borrowers defaulted on adjustable rate mortgages. This was caused by an overheated market where home prices increased too fast. When home prices started declining, foreclosure rates rose which further drove prices down. This created losses for many financial institutions and impacted the global economy. The US government responded by trying to help homeowners renegotiate loans to avoid foreclosure and providing liquidity to struggling financial institutions.The twin bubbles

The document summarizes the subprime mortgage crisis. It begins by explaining what subprime mortgages are and how they differ from conventional mortgages. It then describes how the housing bubble developed in the late 1990s and early 2000s as subprime lending increased and home prices rose rapidly. Eventually, the bubble burst in 2006-2007 as subprime borrowers defaulted on adjustable rate mortgages. This led to billions lost in mortgage-backed securities and major financial institutions suffering huge losses, with some like Lehman Brothers collapsing entirely.How Did We Get Here

The document discusses the housing bubble and its causes. It argues that loose monetary policy and government policies promoting homeownership led to a misallocation of resources and artificial inflation of housing prices. This created a bubble that has now burst, leading to an economic recession. In the long run, there is a concern that the government failures that caused the crisis will not be admitted and more power will be given to the same mechanisms that caused the problems.U.S Financial Crisis 2008, root cause analysis

The document summarizes how the financial crisis occurred through the mortgage market. It discusses how brokers connected lenders and home buyers, how mortgages were bundled into securities (CDOs) and sold to investors, and how the overuse of risky subprime mortgages and securitization led to a housing bubble. As home prices declined and mortgages defaulted, the value of CDOs declined causing losses for investors. A combination of factors like low interest rates, risky lending, and the use of leverage exacerbated the crisis.2014 Sept ASFA Presentation

This document summarizes an analysis of housing bubbles in China, the US, and Australia. The author argues that housing bubbles form when: (1) people believe house prices will continually rise, (2) there is easy access to credit to purchase homes, and (3) those controlling home prices (banks) are not properly aligned with home buyers taking on the risk. Central banks and governments may also fail to properly manage long-term risks to stability in favor of short-term economic growth. If a housing bubble forms and then prices decline, it can significantly slow the broader economy.The subprime mortgage crisis 1

The document summarizes the subprime mortgage crisis. It explains that subprime mortgages are high-interest loans given to borrowers with poor credit who could not qualify for standard mortgages. Many borrowers took out adjustable-rate subprime mortgages when housing prices were rising, expecting to refinance before rates increased. However, when housing prices fell, borrowers could not refinance and began defaulting, leading to a wave of foreclosures. This crisis significantly impacted the US and global economies, with major financial institutions writing off billions of dollars in losses. Governments responded with bailouts and efforts to assist homeowners and regulate derivatives.No Bubble

While home prices have increased 12% year-over-year in 2013, the fastest rate since 2006, prices remain below the peak levels seen during the housing bubble and are still undervalued compared to historic norms. Mortgage rates remain low but access to credit has tightened significantly compared to the bubble years, with average borrower credit scores much higher now. Some experts are concerned about the rise in home flipping but others note that investors are putting more of their own money at risk this time rather than relying on easy credit. Overall most data suggests that while the housing recovery is gaining momentum, conditions do not yet point to a new bubble forming across the market.Malaysian Market 2013 Outlook: The New Growth Areas for High Return Investmen...

The document discusses the subprime mortgage crisis and its causes. It summarizes that:
- The crisis began with high default rates on subprime mortgages in the United States starting in 2005-2006, as housing prices declined and adjustable rate mortgages reset higher.
- Risky lending practices, including low initial terms and declining lending standards, encouraged many borrowers to take on difficult mortgages.
- Securitization of subprime mortgages and derivatives helped spread the risks of default globally, exposing weaknesses in the financial system.THE HOUSING MARKETGreat RecessionMortgage collapseHigh i.docx

The document provides an overview of the causes of the 2008 financial crisis. It discusses risky government policies in the late 1990s and 2000s that encouraged homeownership and an unregulated derivatives market. These policies contributed to a housing bubble fueled by subprime lending and excessive risk-taking by financial institutions. When home prices peaked in 2006 and then declined, foreclosures increased which weakened banks and led to a broader economic crisis. The government implemented TARP and other programs to bail out financial institutions and stabilize the economy.Should I Short Sale My Home - Chapter 8

The document is a chapter from a book about surviving the housing crisis through short sales. It discusses how falling interest rates may not actually help homeowners as much as hoped. Specifically, it notes that while 30-year fixed rates have fallen, long-term bond yields that influence them do not always decline in lockstep with Fed rate cuts. Adjustable rate mortgages may benefit if pegged to falling treasury rates. However, subprime ARMs tied to rising LIBOR rates are unaffected. Additionally, lower rates do not help homeowners unable to refinance due to home depreciation eliminating equity. Only home equity lines of credit directly tied to the prime rate typically benefit from Fed rate cuts.Marketinsights housing

The document discusses the state of the US housing market and argues that now may be a good time to consider investing in housing. It provides the following key points:
1) The US housing market experienced a historic collapse after peaking in 2006, with housing starts, home prices, and construction employment all declining substantially.
2) On various measures like price-to-income and price-to-rent ratios, US home prices are as low as they have been in decades, driven down by falling demand and excess supply during the bust.
3) Housing inventory levels remain elevated but are gradually declining as minimal new construction eats into the stockpile, suggesting prices may rise if demand picks up again.

While some experts acknowledge home prices may be slightly overvalued, this document provides evidence that the current housing market does not exhibit signs of a bubble. It summarizes opinions from several economists and real estate analysts who believe lending standards are reasonable, speculation is much lower than during the mid-2000s housing bubble, and price appreciation has been steady rather than rapidly increasing in recent years. Data on mortgage credit availability, speculation levels, and annual price changes support the conclusion that conditions today differ meaningfully from those preceding the 2008 crisis.Malaysian Market 2013 Outlook: The New Growth Areas for High Return Investmen...

- 1. 6: Housing Bubble Is there a housing bubble in the economy of Malaysia? Why should that be of concern? What is the governments stand on the phenomenon? Housing bubble is a run-up in housing prices fueled by demand, speculation and the belief that recent history is an infallible forecast of the future. Housing bubbles usually start with an increase in demand (a shift to the right in the demand curve), in the face of limited supply which takes a relatively long period of time to replenish and increase. Speculators enter the market, believing that profits can be made through short-term buying and selling. This further drives demand. At some point, demand decreases (a shift to the left in the demand curve), or stagnates at the same time supply increases, resulting in a sharp drop in prices - and the bubble bursts. Traditionally, housing markets are not as prone to bubbles as other financial markets due to large transaction and carrying costs associated with owning a house. However, a combination of very low interest rates and a loosening of credit underwriting standards can bring borrowers into the market, fueling demand. A rise in interest rates and a tightening of credit standards can lessen demand, causing a housing bubble to burst. Other general economic and demographic trends can also fuel and burst a housing bubble. There is no housing bubble in the economy of Malaysia
