The National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) announced
on Wednesday its housing market index (HMI) rose three points to 66 in May, the
highest reading since October 2018.
Economists forecast the HMI to increase to 64.
A reading over 50 indicates more builders view conditions
as good than poor.
All three HMI components were higher this month. The
indicator gauging current sales conditions rose three points to 72, the
component measuring traffic of prospective buyers increased two points to 49,
and the measure charting sales expectations in the next six months edged one
point higher to 72.
NAHB Chairman Greg Ugalde said: “Builders are busy
catching up after a wet winter, and many characterize sales as solid, driven by
improved demand and ongoing low overall supply. However, affordability challenges
persist and remain a big impediment to stronger sales.”
Meanwhile, NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz noted: “Mortgage
rates are hovering just above 4% following a challenging fourth quarter of 2018
when they peaked near 5%. This lower interest rate environment, along with
ongoing job growth and rising wages, is contributing to a gradual improvement
in the marketplace. At the same time, builders continue to deal with ongoing
labor and lot shortages and rising material costs that are holding back supply
and harming affordability.”

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
