Next Week’s Tape: Whole Gamut of Housing Data

By Kathleen Madigan
Next week’s economic reports will be mostly about housing: sales, construction, permits and prices.

The housing sector remains a drag on the U.S. economy. In its Tuesday policy statement, the Federal Reserve said the sector “remains depressed.” Looking ahead, economists expect gains in next week’s numbers–although mild weather this winter is probably lifting activity, which may result in some giveback in the spring.

Home-builder sentiment will be covered Monday with the housing market index. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires expect the index to rise for a sixth consecutive month, increasing to 30 in March, from 29 in February.

Housing starts and permits are set for release Tuesday. Starts are projected to increase to an annual rate of 710,000 in February, while building permits are expected to rise to 700,000.

Housing demand will be captured in reports on existing home sales, out Wednesday, and new home sales, out Friday.

The median forecast calls for existing home sales to increase to a 4.64 million annualized rate. Sales of new homes are projected to be little changed at 322,000.

Finally, the Federal Housing Finance Agency issues its price report Thursday. U.S. home prices are forecast to post a 0.2% increase in January following a solid 0.7% advance in December.

Los precios de las casas en China caen en mas de la mitad de las 70 ciudades de China. (mas importantes)

Los precios cayeron en 45 ciudades, en 22 no tuvieron cambio, eso comparado con la caida de precios en 47 ciudades en Enero.

Las ventas de casas en China cayeron 25% en Enero y Febrero.

China Home Prices Fall in More Than Half Cities Tracked
By Bloomberg News - Mar 17, 2012 10:59 PM ET .LinkedIn Google +1 Print QUEUEQ..China’s February home prices fell in more than half of the 70 cities monitored by the government with only three cities recording gains as the country maintained curbs on the property market.

Prices fell in 45 cities last month as compared with January, while 22 cities were unchanged, the National Statistics Bureau said in a statement on its website today. That compares with 47 cities recording a decline in January. New home prices in the cities of Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen and Guangzhou dropped for a fifth month.

.Premier Wen Jiabao said last week China’s home prices remain far from a reasonable level and called on the government not to slacken efforts to regulate the housing sector. Relaxing the curbs could cause “chaos” in the market, Wen said. China’s two-year campaign to rein in home prices has included measures such as higher down payments and mortgage rates, and home purchase restrictions in 40 cities.

“With more supply coming in spring, prices will fall further,” said Lan Shen, a Shanghai-based economist at Standard Chartered Plc. “There will not be a total reversal of the government’s tightening policies this year and any sort of policy fine-tuning will have a limited impact of the market.”

Only the northern city of Baotou, the eastern city of Jinan and northwestern city of Xining posted gains of 0.1 percent in home prices. In January, no city posted gains for the first time since the government began releasing data at the start of 2011 for 70 cities instead of a national average.

Beijing, Shanghai Prices
Among major cities, February new home prices in Beijing fell 0.1 percent from January, while prices dropped by 0.2 percent in Shanghai. The southern business hubs of Guangzhou and Shenzhen both declined by 0.2 percent.

The eastern city of Wenzhou posted the biggest drop for the fourth month, with home prices declining by 0.5 percent from January and 8 percent from last year, according to the statistics bureau. A credit squeeze on smaller businesses in the city prompted Premier Wen to visit in October and pledge financial aid.

Today’s figures came after private data also showed the home market continued to cool. China’s February home prices posted the biggest decline in 19 months, according to SouFun Holdings Ltd. (SFUN), the nation’s biggest real estate website owner.

New home prices fell in 27 out of 70 cities in February from a year earlier, the government data showed today.

China Vanke Co. (000002), the country’s largest publicly traded developer, said contracted sales in the first two months fell 27 percent from a year earlier, while they slumped 31 percent at Poly Real Estate Co. (6000048), the second-biggest developer traded on Chinese exchanges.

Existing Homes
Existing home prices in Beijing and Shanghai both dropped 0.2 percent from January, according to the statistics bureau.

“The current administration will not relax the overall tightening stance on the housing market,” wrote Barclays Capital Asia Ltd. economists led by Jian Chang in a note to clients on March 14. “We expect a further decline in property prices, especially in major and coastal cities.”

The country’s home sales declined 25 percent in January and February, according to data from the statistics bureau on March 16. The value of homes sold fell 25 percent after surging 26 percent in the first two months of 2011.

Home prices may post a “single-digit” decline this year, billionaire developer Vincent Lo, chairman of Shui On Land Ltd. (272), said in an interview in Beijing on March 8. Home prices will not see a crash, he said.

Las naciones Latinoamericanas menos preparadas para la proxima crisis.

La mayoria de las naciones latinoamericanas, en el evento de otra crisis global, estan en peor forma que en el 2007 como resultado de las menores reservas antes del pago de intereses, dijo el Inter-American Development Bank.

Mexico, Chile, Colombia y Dominican Republic estan entre las naciones menos preparadas para enfrentar una proxima crisis. Brasil y Argentina estan en la misma posicion que en el 2007, mientras Uruguay y Jamaica estan mejor preparados.

Latin American Nations in Worse Shape for Next Crisis, IDB Says
By Bill Faries - Mar 18, 2012 9:01 AM ET

Most Latin American nations, in the event of another global crisis, are in worse shape than in 2007 as a result of lower budget surpluses before interest payments, the Inter-American Development Bank said.

Mexico, Chile, Colombia and the Dominican Republic are among nations less prepared to face a potential crisis, the IDB said in a report released at the bank’s annual meetings in Montevideo, Uruguay, today. Brazil and Argentina are in positions similar to those in 2007 while Uruguay and Jamaica are better prepared, the Washington-based lender said.

“The main reason for the deterioration is the widespread reduction in structural primary balances,” the report said.

While so-called primary surpluses have eroded, balance sheets across the region are stronger and financial supervision has improved, the report said. Latin American economies will grow on average 3.6 percent this year after averaging 5.4 percent the past two years, the IDB said.

“If you look at the region, you’ll see a slight deceleration of growth compared to last year,” said Marcos Buscaglia, chief Latin America economist for Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Two exceptions in the region to that forecast are Brazil and Venezuela, he said.

Growth in Brazil, Latin America’s biggest economy, should accelerate through the year after a slowdown in the second half of 2011, Buscaglia said in an interview in Montevideo.

“Monetary policy will be more expansionary than last year, and fiscal policy will be less contractionary,” Buscaglia said.

In the aftermath of the Greek debt crisis, one weakness for the region comes from its dependence on European banks, primarily lenders in Spain, the IDB said. Other potential liabilities come from a growing dependence on commodities such as copper, and from higher borrowing costs, the report said.

Apoyo a presidente Perú cae en marzo por denuncia contra hermano
domingo 18 de marzo de 2012 13:43 GYT Imprimir [-] Texto [+]
LIMA (Reuters) - La aprobación a la gestión del presidente peruano, Ollanta Humala, cayó seis puntos porcentuales en marzo debido a denuncias sobre privilegios que goza su hermano preso por la muerte de cinco policías durante un rebelión militar contra el presidente Alejandro Toledo en 2005, dijo el domingo un sondeo.

Según la firma Ipsos Apoyo Opinión y Mercado, la popularidad de Humala -que asumió la presidencia en julio del año pasado- bajó en marzo a un 53 por ciento, informó el diario El Comercio.

El mandatario había recuperado su popularidad en los dos meses anteriores hasta llegar al 59 por ciento con la captura de un importante líder del grupo rebelde Sendero Luminoso.

La prensa local denunció recientemente que el hermano del presidente, Antauro Humala, fue trasladado de una prisión de máxima seguridad a la cárcel de un cuartel militar, con aparentes privilegios como tener un moderno teléfono celular que le permitía enviar y recibir correos electrónicos y fotografías.

Antauro, que perteneció al Ejército como su hermano Ollanta, cumple una condena de 19 años de prisión acusado de promover y liderar un frustrado levantamiento militar contra Toledo.

Los dos hermanos Humala fueron aliados en el 2000 cuando participaron en una rebelión contra el entonces presidente Alberto Fujimori, cuyo Gobierno tambaleaba tras al estallido del mayor escándalo de corrupción en la historia del país.

"Lo que ganó el presidente Humala en respaldo popular con la captura del senderista 'Artemio', lo perdió este mes con el traslado de otro subversivo, su hermano Antauro", dijo el director de la encuestadora Ipsos Apoyo, Alfredo Torres.

Según la encuestadora, un 74 por ciento de los entrevistados considera que Antauro Humala tiene influencia en el presidente de la República. Sólo un 20 por ciento dice que no.

La encuesta de Ipsos Apoyo Opinión y Mercado fue realizada entre 1.204 personas entre el 14 y 16 de marzo. El estudio tiene un margen de error de +/- 2,8 puntos porcentuales y un nivel de confianza del 95 por ciento.
