Homebuilder confidence slips to 10-month low...
Data released Tuesday showed the National Association of Homebuilders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index in June fell two points to 81. Any reading above 80 signals strong demand. The index can range from 0 to 100 with any print over 50 considered positive sentiment So, negative headline, not so bad. 80 is still a long way from 50 !

According to the US Census Bureau, privately-owned housing starts in May were +3,6%. Single-family housing starts in May were +4,2%, compared to April. In my opinion, such good starts will help maintain high lumber prices and better SP.
