China’s new home price declines abated for a second month in March, a sign that the property downturn may finally be reaching a bottom in some cities.

China’s new home price declines abated for a second month in March, a sign that the property downturn may finally be reaching a bottom in some cities. New-home prices in 70 cities, excluding state-subsidized housing, dropped 0.21% from February when they slid 0.28% , figures from the National Bureau of Statistics showed on Thursday. Resale home values , which are subject to less government intervention, decreased 0.24%, the least in a year. Real estate values in China have been in a yearslong slump, exacerbating deflationary risks and hurting household spending in the world’s second-largest economy. But the decline in prices is now starting to tip some homebuyers back to the market, aided by a steady stream of supportive measures by local governments. “We expect Shanghai and Shenzhen to lead the national housing recovery, bottoming out in late 2026,” Goldman Sachs Group Inc. analysts including Yi Wang wrote in a note last week. They predict some other prominent cities to follow in six to 24 months. Supportive measures for the property market have trickled out across cities in recent months. Shanghai eased homebuying rules in February, allowing more non-residents to purchase homes in urban zones. The central government has also lowered the value-added tax for selling residential properties owned for less than two years. Green shoots have emerged in the used-home market, where sellers have tended to cut prices more than developers of new units. Pantheon Macroeconomics analysts view this as part of the prolonged bottoming out process, with about a year or so to go for new residential inventory to reach a sustainable level. Still, most global banks hold cautious outlooks on the broader home market. Signs of a recovery in Shanghai may not spill over to other cities, Lu Ting , chief China economist at Nomura Holdings Inc., wrote in a note last week. “We expect property distress to persist for another couple of years due to entrenched expectations, deeply intertwined non-p...

Australian unemployment held steady in March as hiring persisted in the face of shockwaves from the US-Israeli war on Iran, which has driven up fuel prices and given another leg up to inflationary pressures. Employment advanced by 17,900, driven entirely by full-time roles, data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed Thursday. The jobless rate held at 4.3%, matching forecasts. The figures reinforce the Reserve Bank’s view that the labor market remains relatively tight. The Australian dollar was steady after the release while the policy-sensitive three-year government bond yield held onto earlier gains. The jobs data will be a crucial input for the RBA, which delivered its second consecutive interest-rate hike last month, and had been highlighting a strong inflationary impulse across the economy even before the Middle East conflict erupted. Policymakers are trying to plot a path to return inflation to the RBA’s 2-3% target while maintaining a healthy labor market. Listen and follow The Bloomberg Australia Podcast on Apple , Spotify , YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. Economists and traders reckon the RBA will deliver a third consecutive rate increase in May, taking its benchmark to 4.35% and unwinding all of the rate cuts delivered last year. Meantime, the effects of the Iran war are already being felt. Figures on Tuesday showed Australian consumer sentiment tumbled the most since 2020 while business confidence also nosedived on soaring fuel prices and higher borrowing costs. The reports sparked fears of stagflation in the economy — a combination of rising prices and stagnant activity. Speaking prior to the sentiment data, RBA Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser told an event in New York that such a combination is a central bank’s “nightmare” scenario. He signaled that rates may need to go higher as the board doesn’t have “high confidence” they’re at the right level to restrain inflation.

The AI trade has been priced like a silicon story. It may be a materials story instead. "AI uses more minerals than most people realize,” Harvey Kaye, Executive Chairman of U.S. Critical Materials, told Benzinga. Among them are materials like gallium, which have "very few substitutes" if supply tightens. Often overlooked outside specialist circles, the metal sits at the heart of gallium nitride (G...
The AI trade has been priced like a silicon story. It may be a materials story instead. "AI uses more minerals than most people realize,” Harvey Kaye, Executive Chairman of U.S. Critical Materials, told Benzinga. Among them are materials like gallium, which have "very few substitutes" if supply tightens. Often overlooked outside specialist circles, the metal sits at the heart of gallium nitride (GaN)—a technology increasingly tied to high-efficiency power systems in next-generation data centers.
With fuel prices in the Philippines among the world’s hardest hit by the Iran war, consumer groups are urging the government to take bolder action, including tighter control over pump prices.

I heard an audible gasp in the audience, just as a gynaecologist on the movie screen tries to shove a speculum – a hollow cylinder used to open up a woman’s cervix – into the lower body of the protagonist. The film’s main character, a 25-year-old woman named Xu Ke, grimaces in pain. “Relax,” the gynaecologist says, but her tone and hand movements are anything but relaxing. After a sudden shove, Xu feels the pain, wriggles off the examination table and falls to the floor. The scene from the drama...
