US DATA: August Building Permits Upped Slightly, Still Weak
Sep-24 15:45
August building permits were revised up in the final reading to 1,330k (1,312k prelim).
That's still a drop from 1,362k in July for a cycle low (weakest since 2019, ex-pandemic 2020).
Single-family home permits were basically unrevised at 858k (856k prelim), with multi-units now estimated at 472k (456k prelim).
This could on the margins lead to a small uptick in residential investment estimates, including the Atlanta Fed GDPNow reading due out Friday - it currently estimates -6.3% Q/Q SAAR residential investment, which had been downgraded from -4.6% after the preliminary housing data (starts could yet be revised in the September report due out October 17).
But overall, there are no clear signs of a nascent pickup in residential investment activity.
