Australian shares have fallen close to one month lows after a broad base selloff erasing¹ yesterday's gains. By the end of trade, the All Ords was down 1.4%. The ASX 200 index dropped 1.5. Banking² stocks were hammerd, Incitec Pivot³ and Worley Parsons among the worst on the top 200 list. The sell down is being replicated⁴ across most of Asia. The Australian dollar is up after the release of better than expected manufactruing data in China.

The latest data on home sales has added to worries about an oversupply⁵ of apartments in some inner city areas. The latest figure from Corelogic RP data show growth in capital city home values eased to the slowest annual pace in two and half years in March. Melborne is of particular concern, where the average price fell 0.6% in the month. Elsewhere used a up about 10.5%, almost 11% over the last 12 month, whereas unit values have only increased by 2.5%, as its massive difference in the capital growth performance. And if we look at the sales over the December quarter, in the Melborne city council area, almost one in five properties resold that were units actually thought for less than what that were purchased for. So there is definitely some, there is some people seatting under water on their properties in Melborne, and certainly it caused for concern with so much more supply still coming on along.
