由于成本上升和关税担忧,美国建房者的信心达到了五个月的低点。 U.S. homebuilder confidence hits five-month low due to rising costs and tariff fears.

2月,美国建房者信心降到五个月的最低点,全国建房者协会住房市场指数降至42。 U.S. homebuilder confidence dropped to a five-month low in February, falling to 42 on the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Housing Market Index. 下降的原因是按揭利率上升、住房成本高和对进口材料的潜在关税不确定,这可能会增加建筑成本。 The decline is attributed to rising mortgage rates, high housing costs, and uncertainty over potential tariffs on imported materials, which could raise building costs. 未来六个月的销售预期值大幅下降,预期买方的流量也下降。 Sales expectations for the next six months fell significantly, and the gauge for prospective buyer traffic also declined.
