United States NAHB Housing Market Index
A monthly poll of home builders, the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) asks to score current single-family homes, sales projections for the next six months, as well as traffic from prospective buyers. Based on responses to each component, a seasonally adjusted overall index is calculated. A figure greater than 50 indicates that more builders believe sales circumstances are favorable than they do adversely.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the USD while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the USD.
