US April housing starts 1.361m vs 1.365m expected

  • US housing starts and building permits data for April 2025
Housing starts
  • Prior month 1.324M
  • Building permits 1.412M vs 1.450M expected
  • Prior permits 1.467M

Yesterday's NAHB home builder sentiment reading matched the worst since 2022 and this week, US 30-year yields hit 5%.

I don't see how the housing market provides any strength this year to the economy but that sector may be near a bottom.
