New home sales for the month of February were below the consensus estimate and the prior month reading of 788,000. This is a volatile data point which ran as high as 1 million through the back end of 2020. New sales are still trending above the pre-pandemic level. There is 6.3 months’ worth of inventory of new homes available and the median price is $400,600. The median sale price for 2021 was $398,000 and $336,000 for 2020.

Thursday

February durable goods orders slid 2.2% following four consecutive monthly increases. Transportation equipment, which is often volatile, dragged on the headline number as it fell 5.6% for the month. Durable goods ex-transportation slid 0.6%. Inventories continue to build for the 13th straight month as stockpiles of durable goods rose 0.4% to $478.5 billion.

The 4-week moving average of unemployment claims continues to trend lower following a short-lived increase in January. The single week claim data of 187,000 (week ending March 19th) was the lowest level since September of 1969. The number of insured unemployed also maintained its path lower as it reported the lowest total since January of 1970.
