Global News
* U.S. construction spending edges up on renovation demand despite weakness in new homebuilding: U.S. construction spending rose 0.2% in August, surprising economists who expected a decline, mainly driven by home renovation activity as high mortgage rates continued to pressure new singlefamily housing. Overall spending was still down 1.6% YoY. Private construction increased 0.3%, with residential up 0.8%, but new single-family projects slipped 0.4% while multi-family rose slightly. The rise in residential spending was likely fueled by renovations. Mortgage rates had fallen after the Fed resumed rate cuts, which may support activity in September, but they have since stalled as policymakers signaled caution. Weak labor markets and high housing inventory are also weighing on new building. Nonresidential private construction fell 0.3%, and public construction was flat, with federal spending down 0.8%.
