- A leading economist is forecasting home prices could fall around 5 per cent as the government's tax changes and rising interest rates drive investors out of the market. AMP chief economist Shane Oliver says the market is already slowing and prices in Sydney and Melbourne are falling. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has been defending the reforms saying the CGT discount and negative gearing have fundamentally distorted the housing market. Shadow Treasurer Tim Wilson says the changes will kneecap young Australians on multiple fronts, seeing them pay higher rents and increased tax on investments used to save for a deposit. The government hopes its changes will help 75,000 more Australians into home ownership over a decade, while modestly slowing house price growth by about 2 per cent over a couple of years. It estimates the median rent will rise by less than 2 dollars a week. These estimates by Treasury are broadly consistent with those of Grattan Institute says Matthew Bowes.

- Commonwealth Bank shares closed down around 10% today, following announcement of their quarterly trading update.
That is its largest one-day fall on record — overtaking the previous single-day fall, which was on March 16, 2020 during the pandemic.
Outside of March 2020, its next biggest percentage drops were in December 2008, during the global financial crisis (GFC).
Deputy portfolio manager at Wilson Asset Management, Anna Milne says today's drop was driven by several factors including a soft trading update and the federal budget's changes to the capital gains tax discount and negative gearing.
"CBA is considered the highest quality, safest, most robust stock, certainly in Australia, and one of the most in the world, and as a result of that, its valuation is pretty high, and what that means is that when there's any risk to earnings and any downside surprise to earnings that can really shock the share price, so we saw that as well today."
