Overheated share markets may risk financial meltdown
The Australian Reserve Bank pricts low risks of global exchanges caused by geopolitical tension and cyber threats, and financial systems are vulnerable to a violent correction.
The Central Bank has identified stretched self -values, digital operational security deficits and international shocks caused by long -standing weakness in the Chinese system as the biggest threat to financial stability in two years.
In the financial stability examination published on Thursday, the bank continued to rise in spite of a global trade war, despite the risk of foaming.
Considering the interdependent of the financial markets, it was possible that a sale in global bonds and stocks would be poured into Australia.
In addition, the increasing trust in digital technologies left the financial system vulnerable to cyber attacks or technology failures, such as the deduction of the Stock Exchange Operator ASX’s settlement system.
The ongoing weakness in China’s property and banking sector was also concerned. Instability in the largest trade partner in Australia may occur as a result of a decrease in lower commodity prices and a decrease in demand for Australian exports.
While the closure of the US government this week was too late for the bank to consider it in its report, it gave another example of how high international uncertainty can affect financial markets.

Brad Our inclusive assessment is that Australia’s financial system has been well placed to navigate during the high international risks, Bra said RBA Deputy Governor Brad Jones.
Households and businesses protect strong savings, while the amount of mortgage owners in the negative equity had decreased significantly before Pandem.
The stress test modeling showed that even under a dramatic scenario, where unemployment increased to 10 percent and housing prices decreased by 40 percent, less than four percent of the borrowers will be left behind with repayments.
Most of them can still sell their homes and pay down loans.
Given the size and sovereignty of the sector in Australia, pension funds can create a shock in the financial system.
Although super funds traditionally act as a shock absormer, it allows them to invest in long-term tasks against-changing-fundamental funds-funds pose a risk for financial stability due to concentration of high bank invoices.
A liquidity crisis may increase funding costs for the banking sector by forcing funds to sell from bank bills at the same time and financial stress may increase further.
Dr Jones, lending standards remaining solid and financial institutions continue to increase protection against operational shocks, he said.
