Australia’s housing downturn is gathering pace, with home prices now falling across every capital city.

CommBank Senior Economist Trent Saunders joins Mandy Drury to unpack the latest housing outlook, including why Sydney and Melbourne could see larger falls, why rental conditions remain tight and what interest rate cuts could mean for a housing recovery.

They also look at the inflation outlook, what CommBank’s latest estimate of the neutral cash rate means and why interest rates could average higher than they did before the pandemic.

Plus, Energy and Sustainable Economist John Oh previews the key economic and market data ahead, including Australian inflation and home prices, US inflation and jobs data, and the outlook for interest rates.
