This rotation is very healthy and I think investors who have gone through a few cycles know this. They know that widening the breadth of the market is smart for the overall state of the bull market,” he said.

“Net loan approvals in the United Kingdom – a gauge of long-term borrowing – remained largely unchanged in June from May, despite hopes of an interest rate cut this summer, which would deserve to spark more buyers, especially those waiting behind. Interest rates have held steady at a 16-year high of 5. 25% since August last year, although this appears to have had an effect on net borrowing, which more than doubled to £2. 7 billion in June, down from £1. 3 billion in May.
“Affordability has been the main obstacle for first-time buyers in the last two years. The toxic combination of peak inflation, peak borrowing prices and falling real wages has made it much harder for movers to get the homes they wanted, forcing some to sell their plans on hold until loan terms and others to reduce their aspirations.
“Those who already had a loan also found themselves in trouble when their reasonable fixed-rate loans ended and they had to take out a new loan with particularly high repayments. While inflation has receded and employees are enjoying exceptional wage increases, with the maximum number of families managing to adjust their finances to the new reality of indebtedness, others have struggled, as the burden of high payments has dealt a severe blow to their family members’ budgets.

Individuals borrowed £2. 7 billion net of credit debt in June, with £1. 3 billion in May.

Net borrowing from credits decreased slightly in June to £1. 2 billion from £1. 5 billion in May.
Private non-financial companies (NFCPs) raised £6. 7 billion net of investment in June, up from £4. 2 billion in May. The increase was due to £4 billion of net bond issuance and £3. 6 billion of loans made through banks and building societies.
