Markets set for a strong 2014 – RP Data
It’s interesting reflecting on a lot of the market predictions that we saw at this time last year …………………………. and it makes you aware that consensus opinions are not often correct!
Something we can all be confident about is that we have seen the peak of the investment boom in mining infrastructure and that 2014 will be a difficult time for the Australian economy as the non-mining sectors of the economy need to be able to compensate for that, and that this may prove to be quite difficult until 2015 and beyond.

Yields on five- and seven-year notes rose to the highest since September after the Fed said Dec. 18 it will start slowing purchases next month. The U.S. economy grew more in the third quarter than first reported, data showed, underscoring wagers the Fed may conclude its buying next y […]

Given this overall outlook for 2014, I think that property should continue to fare quite well as any economic difficulties are likely to be met with an easing in monetary policy by the RBA which will continue to drive improved housing affordability.
