U.S. builder confidence unexpectedly worsens in January

The National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) announced on Wednesday its housing market index (HMI) fell 3 points to 83 in January from 86 in December. This was the lowest reading since September.

Economists had forecast the HMI to stay at 86.

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 2 points to 92 in January, while the measure charting sales expectations also dropped 2 points to 83 and the component measuring traffic of prospective buyers declined 5 points to 68.

NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke noted: “Despite robust housing demand and low mortgage rates, buyers are facing a dearth of new homes on the market, which is exacerbating affordability problems. Builders are grappling with supply-side constraints related to lumber and other material costs, a lack of affordable lots and labor shortages that delay delivery times and put upward pressure on home prices. They are also concerned about a changing regulatory environment.”

Meanwhile, NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz said: “While housing continues to help lead the economy forward, limited inventory is constraining more robust growth. A shortage of buildable lots is making it difficult to meet strong demand and rising material prices are far outpacing increases in home prices, which in turn is harming housing affordability.”

Upozorenje o rizicima

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.
