- US house prices rose at a softer-than-expected pace in June.
- The Cholar Index remains down in the American session.
Monthly data released by the US Federal Housing Finance Agency on Tuesday showed that the house price index rose 0.1% on a monthly basis in June. This data follows the increase of 1.3% in May and is below market expectations, which were 1.1%.
“House prices grew rapidly for most of the second quarter of 2022, but a slowdown has appeared in June’s monthly data,” said Dr. William Doerner, supervising economist in the FHFA Statistics and Research Division. “The pace of growth has slowed recently, which is consistent with other recent housing data.”
