The National
Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) announced on Wednesday its housing market
index (HMI) rose 1 point to 84 in February from 83 in January.
Economists had
forecast the HMI to stay at 83.
A reading over
50 indicates more builders view conditions as good than poor.
The three HMI
components were mixed this month. The indicator gauging current sales
conditions held steady at 90 in February, while the measure charting sales
expectations dropped 3 points to 80 and the component measuring traffic of
prospective buyers rose 4 points to 72.
NAHB Chairman
Chuck Fowke noted: “Lumber prices have been steadily rising this year and hit a
record high in mid-February, adding thousands of dollars to the cost of a new
home and causing some builders to abruptly halt projects at a time when inventories
are already at all-time lows. Builders remain very focused on regulatory and
other policy issues that could price out households seeking new homes in a
tight market this year.”
Meanwhile, NAHB
Chief Economist Robert Dietz said: “Demand conditions remain solid due to
demographics, low mortgage rates and the suburban shift to lower-cost markets,
but we expect to see some cooling in growth rates for residential construction
in 2021 due to cost factors, supply chain issues and regulatory risks. Some
builders are at capacity and may not be able to expand production due to these
headwinds.”

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.
