Orr talks about moving back to LVRs and a bit later signals that banks can get cheap money apparently for housing (not just business as some indicated)

He’s lost the plot .....needs a long holiday

You're such a joy germ, scared ****less about pretty much everything, good or bad. Hope it doesn't get in the way of making a few bob as the market gifts us unprecedented opportunities for those that can stomach the circumstances.

US markets up again bumping the top of the range though , so a break thru the top could lead to some more good gains. mentioned yesterday nzd/usd might hit resistance at 69c after the rbnz news and it has indeed still up on the day and looking strong overall

I agree we are not out of the woods, Pfizer vaccine progress notwithstanding.

Reserve Bank of NZ is making sure interest rates remain low and is busy inflating the housing price bubble. Basically Orr is telling investors to fill their boots with mortgage debt. After all Labour says no general CGT under their watch - so chase those leveraged property capital gains; the Kiwi way. So what goes up, goes up for ever...(forget history?)

Are the Reserve Bank Board assessed for any conflict of interest?

Watch the tens of billions of dollars (in NZ) of maturing bank deposits flood into property & stocks, especially high yielding stocks in the next 12 months.

Already happening and will accelerate as savers get almost zero interest income shock.

Blame the mandate given to the RBNZ. It doesn't include anything about house prices or affordability.

It really is a house of cards waiting to fall over, but I can't see it changing any time soon. All this new money has to go somewhere... "cash is trash"
