A result that will surprise a few observers, with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia reported unaudited cash earnings of around $2.65 billion for the quarter, up by +6% on improved margins. 

There were seasonal declines in personal loans and credit card arrears.

An interesting point of note was that 90-plus day home loan arrears were tracking at 0.59%, marginally lower from the preceding quarter. 

CBA noted that 90-plus day home loan arrears have declined slightly over the past few years to 0.48% when the state of Western Australia is excluded.
