#lending-market
When people refer to the “bond market” they’re talking about people who are buying US Treasury bonds. These are the people/countries who are basically lending the US govt $ & receiving interest payments. Higher interest payments mean that folks aren’t as interested in buying/lending us $ anymore.

We welcome APRA taking action in response to the Greens’ & community concerns for the massive spike in investor lending. However, this alone won’t cool investors’ stampede of the housing market. Jim Chalmers must direct APRA to use their levers to curb runaway investor lending.

Ecotricity did it - after four years of campaigning to reform our energy market by ‘breaking the link’ - our government just announced it will. Our bills will be lower, so will inflation and bank lending rates, our economy bigger and stronger.

Private credit market was already looking real bad under the weight of infinite AI spend which simply put off the CRE collapse but add an oil shock...

Authors and readers - along with libraries - must continue to pressure publishers to make controlled lending and library ebook licenses less restrictive & expensive.

There's been a century+ of unfounded antagonism from pubs to libraries, viewing them as market competitors.
Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan Publishers, Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster "throttle" access to e-books by selling them to libraries for either a limited time or a limited number of circulations — sometimes both.
'Astronomical' hold queues on year's top e-books frustrate readers, libraries | CBC News
More than 1,000 people are waiting to borrow the Ottawa Public Library's most popular e-book of 2024, and librarians say inflated prices and restrictive e-book publishing practices are responsible.

A market crash hurts the entire economy. Businesses lose value, cut jobs, and freeze hiring. Retirement $ shrinks, consumer confidence drops, and banks tighten lending. This slows spending, sours layoffs and reduced wages. Even those without stocks feel the impact through job losses, inflation, etc.
