US November construction spending data

construction spending
  • Prior was +1.3% (revised to +1.6%)
  • Residential +17.9% y/y
  • Non-residential -5.2% y/y
  • Private +4.9% y/y
  • Public +2.4%

This is a noisy data point but the upward revision means that the trend is still strong. I don't expect any slowdown so long as rates remain low. About 60% of US construction is residential.
