Neilr9 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 This is the second day in a row I've heard about the carry trade 'unwinding': http://www.ft.com/cms/s/e9f68980-c829-11db...0b5df10621.html If this is the case how long would it be before the effects filter through to the man in the street applying for a mortgage (if at all). Next week, next month ? Anyone like to comment ? Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinking Feeling Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I would guess at least 2 quarters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilr9 Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 I would guess at least 2 quarters! That kind of ties up with my gut feel that prices will continue rising into the summer and then level off in the autumn. Interest rate rises should have also kicked in by then.

ae589 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I would guess at least 2 quarters! I disagree - products will be taken off the market quickly - I would guess as long as it takes to filter through for rate changes. How long to affect house prices - yes, months.
