I'm not so sure myself.
Unemployment is still rising and at record levels; also with deflation and 0.5% interest rate. This could be an inflation/high interest rate timebomb waiting to happen, which could push thousands of home owners over the edge who are just about managing.
I suppose this might trigger a surge of repossessed houses on the market and possibly stifle or reverse the recent increase in house prices...
This report coming right when the BoE are throwing another £50bn into the economy? The worst might well be over but there's a long way to go yet by the looks of it.
Agreed, the macroeconomic environment, especially in the UK, still looks pretty precarious. This piece is more of a look at the PC industry than the economy on the whole.
This is an interesting discussion. thank you for sharing
