Why investors are shorting Canada's housing market

Housing in Canada is being overvalued.

A growing number of investors are betting Canada's frothy property market will nosedive, according to research firm Markit, as low energy prices drag down the country's economic outlook.

Investors are taking out an increasing number of "short" positions on banks and insurers with high exposure to the property market, Markit explained, with these investors expecting share prices to slide. This comes amid record low interest rates in the country— which have been cut twice this year, down to 0.5 percent.

Financial groups now account for three of the top 10 shorted stocks in the country, it said.

• 跌吧跌吧。要不把祖祖辈辈的本地人都挤出原居住地换成某些人就跟当年强行拆迁一样了。 -julie116- ♀ (0 bytes) () 11/01/2015 postreply 08:07:22
