$1.243B trade surplus for Nov '16 - who would of thunk it? Analyst consensus was -$500M or so. That should put to bed any possibility of a follow-on negative GDP print for 2016 Q4?

Based on reasonably strong commodity prices, which has been a hot topic at the BBQs in late 2016. It means that the suburbanites don't need to focus so much on education and tourism.

Can you repeat that in english and explain your point further please???Are you trying to argue that privatisation of a government asset, when selling to an o/s interest, would impact the *trade* balance figures?

I doubt it, seeing as what he seems to be saying is complete rubbish.... I think Golly needs to go back to school and learn what the difference between the trade balance and the current account is.

An accounting readjustment when AUD went from 85 cents to 75 cents to USD.
AUD hasn't been 85c, or even over 80c, in over 18 months! Had been at around the Nov level (~75c) since Jul..... only fell a bit in last few weeks, after Nov trade figures would have been determined. But don't let facts get in the way of your bear narrative!

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
