0601 GMT - ANZ's momentum in home lending looks to be showing early signs of slowing, says UBS analyst John Storey in a note looking at Australian regulator data for March. ANZ's share of new business fell to 14% of the wider system, where before it was more than 20%. Westpac, UBS says, was the only major lender to grow above system mortgages, driven by particularly strong growth in owner occupier. Overall, total mortgages grew 0.4% on month for the Australian banking sector, with Macquarie and WBC the strongest performers.(alice.uribe@wsj.com)
