Digital Payment Stocks Could Enter Bear Markets
Shares of the digital transaction giants have plummeted in reaction to fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, which will sharply lower volumes in the first and second quarters. Two elite members of this group have held long-term uptrends and reached deep support levels , while the third has already entered bear market territory. The prognosis looks poor for the entire group, but a little good news could go a long way in alleviating the deteriorating outlooks.

World’s bubbliest housing markets are flashing warning signs
- A + A HONG KONG (June 22): A world economy already contending with raging inflation, stock-market turmoil and a grueling war is facing yet another threat: the unraveling of a massive housing boom. As central banks around the globe rapidly increase interest rates, soaring borrowing costs mean people who were already stretching to buy property are finally reaching their limits. The effects are being seen in countries such as Canada, the US and New Zealand, where once-hot residential real estate markets have suddenly turned cold. It’s a sharp reversal from years of surging prices fueled by rock-bottom mortgage rates and government stimulus, along with a pandemic that popularized remote work and sent homebuyers on the hunt for bigger spaces. An analysis by Bloomberg Economics shows that 19 OECD countries have combined price-to-rent and home price-to-income ratios that are higher today than they were ahead of the 2008 financial crisis — an indication that prices have … [Read more...] about World’s bubbliest housing markets are flashing warning signs
