0217 GMT - Australian regulators' data on banks suggest that the industry remains comfortably funded, UBS analysts say. Parsing numbers from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, the investment bank's analysts tell clients in a note that total deposits across the banking industry were up 8.1% on year in May. That is only just short of an 8.2% rise in credit, they say. The analysts add that investor mortgage growth was up 9% on year, outpacing the owner-occupier growth of 6%. However, they note that the pipeline for investor lending appears to be weak following the government's announcement of changes to how capital gains are taxed. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
