....Trump Slump taking its toll
so far the only Trumponomics winners are defense contractors building advanced military equipment for Saudi terrorists, nice
The Commerce Department said Tuesday that new home sales skidded 11.4% in April to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 569,000. It was the biggest monthly drop since March 2015. Economists had expected a more modest retreat from March sales of 642,000, which were the highest since October 2007. Sales in April were still up 0.5% from a year earlier.
Sales fell in every region of the country, led by a 26.3% plunge in the West, the biggest drop since October 2010.
Economists were inclined to view the April reading as a one-month blip. Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, called last month’s drop “a correction from the March cycle high, not a warning sign.”
