Employment Data Dominates Calendar, Earnings Season Starts Again

Jan 5th, 2009 | By Christian Hill | Category: Financial News

The economic calendar wastes no time getting off to a busy start in the first full week of 2009. The Construction Spending report for November this morning leads off the week, and carrying over from last year, it should show a continued slowdown. Until the housing market stabilizes, and the credit markets unfreeze, money simply won’t be spent on new construction. Since neither of those options looks likely to occur anytime soon, 2009 could be another long year for the construction industry.

After Subprime, US Faces Crisis in Construction

Jun 5th, 2008 | By Contrarian Profits | Category: Featured, Financial News

They’ve already taken a hit on subprime, now major US banks, including troubled Wachovia, could be facing a similar crunch in the construction-lending market.

Part of Wachovia’s problem — apart from its residential-mortgage woes — is the $23.9 billion in outstanding debt it holds in relation to commercial-property projects at the end of the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal.

“Teaser rates of just 1% interest, left almost one-in-ten subprime borrowers unable to meet their monthly mortgage bills,” says Adrian Ash in The Daily Reckoning UK.
