Deutsche Bank Otani and Quiet Property Bubble

Deutsche Bank AG: In Japan property market, bearish investors now exceed bulls for the first time since 2008, according to a survey by Tokyo-based NLI Research Institute published this week, according to The Japan Times. This will be the year when the quiet property bubble collapses, Deutsche Bank Otani said in an interview in Tokyo. Deutsche Bank AG Yoji Otani said prices benefited from Abe monetary easing and are poised to fall as government policies are faltering, joining analysts and economists at Mizuho Financial Group Inc. and Fujitsu Research Institute in forecasting declines. Both 2016 and 2017 are likely to be severe years for the property market. Real estate investors are becoming more skeptical about gains in Japanese property after declines in global stocks and commodity prices triggered losses at sovereign wealth funds, traditionally big investors in property, and buyers have become more risk averse. The inflation outlook for Japan has worsened as consumer prices have stagnated for the past year at close to zero and the six-year-old global economic recovery is showing signs of decelerating.
