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.”

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.
