The National
Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) announced on Wednesday its housing market
index (HMI) fell 4 points to 86 in December from November’s all time high of 90.
Economists had
forecast the HMI to decline to 88.
A reading over
50 indicates more builders view conditions as good than poor.
All three HMI
components recorded declines this month. The indicator gauging current sales
conditions fell 4 points to 92 in December, while the component measuring
traffic of prospective buyers also decreased 4 points to 73 and the measure
charting sales expectations dropped 4 points to 85.
NAHB Chairman
Chuck Fowke noted: “Housing demand is strong entering 2021, however the coming
year will see housing affordability challenges as inventory remains low and
construction costs are rising. Policymakers should take note to avoid
increasing regulatory costs associated with land development and residential
construction”.
Meanwhile, NAHB
Chief Economist Robert Dietz said: “Builder confidence fell back from historic
levels in December, as housing remains a bright spot for a recovering economy. The
issues that have limited housing supply in recent years, including land and
material availability and a persistent skilled labor shortage, will continue to
place upward pressure on construction costs. As the economy improves with the
deployment of a COVID-19 vaccine, interest rates will increase in 2021, further
challenging housing affordability in the face of strong demand for
single-family homes”.

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.
