Are UK house prices about to rise via renters switching to buying?
There is an interesting claim in today's Financial Times as I note this headline. Demand for UK rental properties drops as buying becomes more affordable. This poses all sorts of questions about the more affordable line. For example it was only the other day that the comments section was discussing that around a million people will face higher mortgage rates this year.

Argentina is seeing a lot of financial engineering but the real hope is coming from farm exports
We can start our analysis with something from earlier today that is both familiar and unfamiliar about Argentina. Argentina bought $808 million in special drawing rights from the US Treasury to confront its latest interest payments at the International Monetary Fund without tapping a swap line shared between both countries, according to the local newspaper La Nacion. ( Bloomberg) The familiar part is the need to pay interest on the ongoing IMF borrowings.

There is at times unnecessary scaremongering on here and worse. But it is also true that COMEX and the LBMA will be working long into the night and perhaps all weekend after a day like this. #Silver #Gold

Issy Boffey was flying last night 👍🏃‍♀️
Incredible race between Issy Boffey and Roisin Willis at the Terrier Classic at BU. Like last week, Boffey has a great close, but this time she wins in 1:57.43, which puts her eighth on the world all-time list. (The British record is 1:57.18). Roisin Willis is 2nd in an American record of 1:57.97.

Are Non-Depository Financial Institutions going to be the next derivatives?How accurate an indicator has broad money, M4, been of inflation/growth in 18 months time? Does a rise in the endogenous money supply cause an increase in the nominal size of the economy?

What goes up must come down
Spinning Wheel got to go 'round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles
It's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the Spinning Wheel spin
You got no money, you got no home
Spinning Wheel all alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you
You never learn #Gold
