Fundamental view

United States

Sales of new single-family homes probably climbed 4.4% to the seasonally adjusted annual rate of 430 000 during August compared to a month ago, according to market expectations. The index of new home sales dropped 2.4% to the annual rate of 412 000 in July from 422 000 in June.

There are several points to watch out for when interpreting the New Home Sales numbers. First of all, the statistics does not record any houses that are not going to be sold immediately. As an example, the case when a house is commissioned to be built on an existing plot of land that the purchaser owns.

Second, the statistics are taken at the point where a customer has signed a sales contract or has put a deposit down. At this point the house can be at any stage of construction.

Third, the sales figures are not adjusted to take into account the sales contracts, which are eventually canceled by the builder or the customer. However, the same house is not included in any subsequent count when it is eventually sold to another customer.

This report has a significant influence on the Forex market, because increasing new home sales can lead to a rise in consumption, for example. The new home sales index is also an excellent indicator of any economic downturns or upturns due to the sensitivity of consumers income. When, for instance, new home sales drop over several months, this usually is a precursor to an economic depression.

Therefore, in case the index rose more than anticipated, this would usually boost demand for the greenback. The US Census Bureau is to report the official figure at 14:00 GMT.
