    Hi All,

    At the share price of $30.63, Westpac shares currently have a grossed-up dividend yield of 8.7%. This is very high when compared to term deposit rates of about 2.3%. So why is the Westpac share price & that of the other banks falling?

    Is it the Royal Commission, worries about the housing market or worries about the US bond market & increased funding costs?

    Cheers.
