The housing market slowdown, explained in 7 charts
September 4, 2022--It's becoming harder for buyers and renters to afford housing with steep mortgage rates and ultra-high prices.
After mortgage rates hit record lows during the pandemic, driving up demand for new homes and pushing up listing prices, the housing market is now slowing down.
That's good news for buyers who can afford to stay in the market. But many prospective buyers are being priced out as high mortgage rates and steep prices make it unaffordable for some to purchase a new home. At the same time, new home construction has decreased as builders become warier of falling demand - and rent prices have continued to increase.

Stark differences revealed under the bonnet of clean energy ETFs
August 30, 2022--An analysis of the offerings the funds provide show how important it is to look beyond the name
The invasion of Ukraine, surging oil prices and devastating evidence of climate change are likely to have helped contribute to the sustained demand for clean energy funds this year, even as broader environmental, social and governance (ESG) portfolios have seen their popularity ebb amid the wider sell-off in growth stocks.
That is despite some mixed short-term performance: most of the broad clean energy funds discussed in this piece are slightly down or flat for the year to August 11 if we look at local currency returns, although the strength of the US dollar has translated into some big gains for sterling investors in many cases. It is only the Invesco Global Clean Energy Ucits ETF (GCLX) that is still notably down over the period in sterling terms.
