Fundamental view
Home values in 20 large cities throughout the United States probably rose at an annualized rate of 11.73% during April, preliminary experts’ estimates showed. In March, home prices climbed at a rate of 12.37%. S&P/Case-Shiller will release the official rate at 13:00 GMT.
At the same time, confidence among US consumers probably improved in June. The corresponding index probably rose to a reading of 83.5 from 83.0 in May. The Conference Board research group is to announce the results from its survey, encompassing over 5 000 households in the country, at 14:00 GMT. If the gauge of confidence shows a better than expected performance, this would certainly heighten the appeal of the US dollar.
Also at 14:00 GMT United States’ Census Bureau is to announce the results from the Survey of Construction, regarding sales of new, privately-owned residential buildings currently authorized by a building permit or started in areas not requiring a building permit in May. New home sales in the country probably jumped to 0.440 million last month from 0.433 million in May.
