How would you describe your market at the moment?
Melbourne, like many other Australian CBD office markets is characterised by a challenging demand environment. Occupiers remain reluctant to move or make long-term decisions while commodity and financial markets are volatile.

Eco Analysis - Australia: Big trade deficit, but also better exports (K Baader)
Eco Analysis - Australia: Big trade deficit, but also better exports (K Baader)
Australia's October trade figures added another piece of evidence that intra-Asian trade - and arguably global trade - is picking up. Export values rose for the first time in five months, albeit by a mere 0.4% mom, but that is a respectable performance considering that, according to the RBA measure, commodity prices were down 2.2% in October. The rise owed much to a jump in exports to China, which surged 20% mom (but caution, not seasonally adjusted), lifting the annual rate to -11% from -25%. This supports the notion that de-stocking in China has come to an end. Meanwhile, imports into Australia surged, led by capital goods, indicating that strong investment activity extended into Q4.

Australia: Labour Market (Oct 2012)
Australia: Labour Market (Oct 2012)
Dominic Bryant - Market Economics
Asian Instant Insight | 08 Nov 2012 02:54 |
Employment surprised to the upside somewhat in October, for a second consecutive month. Full-time employment drove the increase. However, other indicators of labour market health are weak at present. In particular, the trend in hours worked is soft. Typically this is consistent with significant domestic demand weakness, which we expect to show through in the Q3 and Q4 GDP numbers. Therefore, we continue to expect a 25bp RBA rate cut in December.

Hedge Funds Make Wrong-Way Bets for a Fourth Week: Commodities

Hedge funds wagered the wrong way on commodity prices for a fourth consecutive week, boosting bullish holdings just before reports showing a contraction in manufacturing from China to Europe drove prices lower.

China Soft Landing May Be Hard for Commodity Exporters
By Bloomberg News - 2012.03.25 06:41 PM
The good news: China’s government will engineer a soft landing. The bad news: Even a soft landing is painful for industries that have become dependent on the world’s fastest-growing major economy as their main profit engine.

Chinese Mount Global Homebuying Spree as Governments Squeeze Local Markets

On a sunny Saturday in early June, Larry Zhou strolled the floor of a property exhibition in Hong Kong, wondering whether it was time to buy another home -- not in the city, where residential prices have soared 50 percent in the past two years, but maybe in Thailand or Malaysia.

Forget bonuses. Don’t worry about bailouts. That’s all history. The battleground that matters most for the banking and finance industry right now is the profits it is making from commodities trading.
