US single-family housing starts, permits decline in June
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. single-family homebuilding and permits for future construction fell sharply in June as high mortgage rates and economic uncertainty hampered home purchases, suggesting residential investment contracted again in the second quarter. Single-family housing starts, which account for the bulk of homebuilding, dropped 4.6% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 883,000 units last month, the Commerce Department's Census Bureau said on Friday. Permits for future single-family homebuilding decreased 3.7% to a rate of 866,000 units. Economists view President Donald Trump's sweeping import tariffs as posing an inflation risk. That has prompted the Federal Reserve to continue to pause its interest rate cuts. Consumer and producer inflation data for June suggested the import duties were starting to drive up prices for some goods. Trade policy uncertainty and worries over the country's rising debt load have boosted U.S. Treasury yields, keeping mortgage rates elevated. The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed mortgage has hovered just under 7% this year, data from mortgage finance agency Freddie Mac showed. Trump last week announced higher duties would come into effect on August 1 for imports from a range of countries, including Mexico, Japan, Canada and Brazil, and the European Union. Trump in April slapped a 10% duty on nearly all imports, while giving nations a 90-day period to negotiate trade deals. The slump in demand has increased the supply of homes on the market, discouraging builders from breaking ground on new housing projects. New housing inventory is at levels last seen in late 2007. A National Association of Home Builders survey on Thursday showed the share of builders cutting prices to attract buyers rose in July to the highest level since 2022. Residential investment, which includes homebuilding, contracted in the first quarter. It is expected to have remained a drag on gross domestic product in the second quarter.

US equity funds see weekly outflows on tariff worries, inflation pressure
(Reuters) -U.S. equity funds again came under selling pressure through the week to July 16, dampened by worries over President Donald Trump's tariff rhetoric and the buildup in inflationary pressure, potentially keeping the Federal Reserve cautious about a premature rate cut. Investors jettisoned a net $11.75 billion from U.S. equity funds during the week, reversing their two successive weeks of net purchases, data from LSEG Lipper showed. The large-cap fund segment was specifically under pressure as it witnessed a net $9.83 billion worth of divestments, the largest weekly figure since June 18. Investors also made net withdrawals in the mid-cap and small-cap segments, with approximately $2.07 billion and $682 million worth of net disposals. Sectoral funds saw a net $948 million worth of weekly sales, halting a two-week trend of inflows. The healthcare, tech and communication services sectors had noticeable outflows totaling a net $1.62 billion, $544 million and $324 million, respectively. Bond funds, meanwhile, stayed popular for the 13th week in a row, attracting net inflows of $5.55 billion. Investors added general domestic taxable fixed income funds worth $1.16 billion, extending net purchases into a fourth straight week. Short-to-intermediate investment-grade funds and short-to-intermediate government and Treasury funds also saw net inflows of $863 million and $763 million, respectively. U.S. money market funds, meanwhile, were out of favor for the second straight week, with a net $9.79 billion in outflows.

Adam Schiff's On-Air Message To Trump Had Colbert's Audience Cheering. Then He Went Further.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) pulled no punches Thursday night when talking about Donald Trump's second-term intimidation tactics. Trump has been far more effective at cultivating 'a climate of fear' since returning to the Oval Office than he ever was in his first term, Schiff said on the (soon-to-be-canceled) 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.' Law firms, universities, judges, immigrants, news organizations and even Republicans in Congress are all in Trump's crosshairs, said the lawmaker. Schiff reminded viewers of Trump's attacks on him. 'Ever since I led his first impeachment, he's threatened me with jail, prosecution, called me a traitor, accused me of treason… blah blah blah,' he said. Then Schiff turned directly to the camera with a message for the president. 'Donald, piss off,' he declared, earning thunderous applause from the studio audience. After the cheers died down, Schiff added with a smirk: 'But Donald, before you piss off — would you release the Epstein files?' Watch here: Related...
