U.S. Construction Spending Surges with Notable Rise in Single-Family Homebuilding
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. construction spending recorded a significant increase in October, surpassing economists' expectations with a rise of 0.4% as reported by the Commerce Department's Census Bureau. This uptick follows an unrevised 0.1% gain in September, and outstripped the 0.2% growth forecasted by economists polled by Reuters. On an annual basis, construction spending expanded by 5.0% in October.
Private and Residential Construction Lead the Increase
Spending in private construction projects climbed 0.7% and was driven predominantly by residential construction, which surged by 1.5%. New single-family project outlays specifically increased by 0.8%, despite rising mortgage rates which closed October at an average of 6.72% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. Notably, this period coincided with the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts aiming to stimulate the economy.
Despite these encouraging figures, continued constriction in new home inventory—returning to levels not seen since early 2008—may eventually curb advances in single-family housing construction. Still, spending on multi-family units inched up 0.2%, while investments in home renovations also experienced an uptick.
Construction Sands Market Overview
According to data from IndexBox, the U.S. export value of construction sands for 2023 stands at USD 18.8 million, while imports are slightly higher at USD 21.8 million, leading to a trade deficit in this sector. The primary export markets include China (USD 7.2 million), the United Kingdom (USD 1.9 million), and Mexico (USD 1.7 million). Meanwhile, Canada dominates the import market, providing USD 15.8 million worth of construction sands, followed by the United Kingdom (USD 1.6 million), and Turkey (USD 1.4 million).
Challenges in Non-Residential and Public Projects
Despite the growth in residential spending, investment in private non-residential structures fell by 0.3%, impacted by reductions in sectors like commercial, healthcare, and education facilities. Additionally, public construction spending declined by 0.5% in October; a 0.6% decrease in state and local government projects overshadowed a modest 0.3% increase in federal government outlays.
