Market Talk Currently
US housing starts are forecast to rise 1.7% in May to a 1,880,000 annual rate, according to a DJ/CNBC survey. Building permits are expected to fall off by 2.0% to an annual rate of 1,933,000. "The fact that permits are falling faster than starts shows that the slowdown is happening regardless of seasonal fluctuations," says Cary Leahey, economist at Decision Economics in NY. "Fundamentals are demanding a slowdown, and we've seen some nice downward movements in starts and permits for some time." Unlike the consensus forecast, Leahey is expecting starts to decline between 2% and 5%, "although it could be much greater." Data due 1230 GMT.
