Think Tank Interest Rates Outlook Wk 20 2008

Rates have come down fractionally this week with the 30 day rate now in to 7.5833% and the 90 day rate tightening to 7.7867%. Fixed rates over 1-5 years continued to fall and are down by 0.14%-0.29% to range between 7.29% and 7.73%.

John Stewart, CEO of NAB, commented last Friday that he believed, on balance, further rate rises by his bank by greater than further official rate movements looks unlikely. This is an interesting statement and suggests NAB has formed the view that credit markets have become more stable with the bank cost of funds now more predictable.

Commercial Property Rollover Risk

Thu, 2008-04-24 20:20 — Broker

What Do We Mean By Rollover Risk? A commercial lender we represent offers commercial property borrowers a loan for a 25 year term. Borrowers can elect to take the first few years as interest only, which most tend to do. Most other commercial lenders offer short term, interest only, loans. These loans require repayment or re-negotiation at the end of the term, which is usually 3 or 5 years. The “Rollover Risk” applies to borrowers who have a short term loan reaching maturity. The borrower faces the following uncertainties: Read more
