@RestIsPolitics I particularly enjoyed @RoryStewartUK calling Prigozhin Pirozhkin throughout, which essentially translates to Cake-Man or Bun-Boy. Quite sophisticated trolling of Putin's chef ๐

Everyone please be aware of and keep highlighting what is going on with WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich. Journalism is not a crime.

@coff_ey@ChrisGiles_ Hi Jack. Lender pricing is from MoneyFacts and swap rates from Bloomberg. The chart itself is one we create and use internally at Generation Home
@ChrisGiles_ Some lenders have also moved to reprice a lot faster, so the reality for borrowers is much better than this. The best rates in the market are no just 0.4-0.6% above swaps
@ChrisGiles_ Hi Chris! Unfortunately the chart is enormously misleading based on when the X-axis begins. This chart shows lender spreads (Big 6 2yr and 5yr products at 80/90% LTV) since autumn 2021.
The FT chart picks the point to begin at which spreads were deeply negative for a few days
@George_Nixon97 Here's a chart showing spreads (2yr and 5yr fixes from the Big 6 lenders at 80% and 90% LTV) since autumn 2021. Spreads on leading rates from HSBC and Halifax are now at just 0.50%
@resi_analyst Do we know why they think mortgage rates will go meaningfully sub swaps? Presumably they donโt want their house price projections to be any more downbeat?
