According to The Australian Financial Review, more than 5000 homes are set to go under the hammer this week – the highest volume so far this year – as vendors rush to sell before interest rate rises trigger a sustained fall in house prices, data from SQM Research shows.
“Vendors are racing to sell to make the most of the current strong prices and before the market softened further,” SQM Research managing director Louis Christopher said. “Sellers now understand that this is probably as good as it gets when it comes to selling, with the federal election and rate hikes looming, buyers are likely to stay on the sidelines.” https://www.afr.com/property/residential/sellers-storm-the-market-ahead-of-interest-rate-hikes-20220407-p5abp5
According to The Asahi Shimbun, transplanting corneal cells made from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells into patients with a vision-impairing disease didn’t cause any serious side effects, researchers announced.
Some of the patients’ eyesight even improved as a result of the clinical trial, the team at Osaka University said. “This could be a revolutionary treatment that could overcome the challenges that existing treatment has faced, such as a shortage of cornea donors or transplant rejection,” said Koji Nishida, a member of the team and professor of ophthalmology at the university, at a news conference. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/14590799
According to The Asahi Shimbun, vacuum-insulated bottles that keep carbonated drinks from losing their fizz are now being pitched to beer lovers who want something stronger when they are enjoying the great outdoors or simply chilling at home.
The trend was triggered by a growing number of people who now telework from home because of the novel coronavirus pandemic or seek to escape for a while from the hubbub of city life. To win over new customers, manufacturers are marketing products with well-arranged cap and bottle designs so carbonic acid gas generated inside does not pose a safety risk. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/14575049

According to The Australian Financial Review, a resurgence in the gas crisis gripping Europe presents a boon for the Australian economy and local producers, as European leaders enter a standoff over critical supplies from Russia, which has fuelled a global energy crunch and sent petrol prices soaring.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has demanded European buyers begin purchasing oil and gas using the Russian rouble instead of euros or dollars, a request that leaders have refused to agree to. Scrambling to find alternative supplies, Europe is expected to look to Australia, which could lead to higher returns particularly for Woodside, which earmarks up to one-quarter of its LNG to be sold into short-term and spot markets. https://www.afr.com/companies/energy/australian-resource-boon-to-grow-as-european-gas-crisis-escalates-20220401-p5aa4n

The three companies unveil a memorandum of understanding to further evaluate the project, which would involve working with farmers on planting drought-resilient native biomass crops on their land.
