But the most frustrating trade I have had for a long time but to position in on this is what I think is the right thing to do. I don't think there is any fundamental difference between the 2 countries except the OCR spread in what seems to be closing. The medium on this pair sits around 115. I believe we are at a shift here and when the September house ruling comes in for 40% deposit down and then I think we have seen peak NZ but may take a few months to play out with a painfully slow fundamental shift.
We have either had the 5 leg or not? I would like to think we have and are setting up 2 leg reverse at the moment. But maybe not.
Few IMF housing charts.
Interesting New Zealand at top of Price - income ratio recently.
