The Australian Reserve Bank is somewhat more pragmatic than the Fed, although nowhere near as active in stomping-out bubbles as when Ian Macfarlane was the Chair. Macfarlane upped required deposits and urged provinces like New South Wales to introduce new punitive real estate taxes on speculators - which they did. But housing does make up a huge sector of the Australian economy and Australians do like a flutter (a gamble) with negative gearing (leverage).

Maybe as the yield curve flattened out back in 2014 whereas US remained very steep until Trump became president. But still a decent spread in both countries to cause recession at least near term? Housing of course totally insane most gateway cities has to crack hard or go sideways for at least a generation.. I look at the three largest banks in Canada market cap $300B all just hit all time highs exceeded previous peak three years ago.. Wish I could get more info like I have here in the states. Party on..
