May consumer prices pause as housing starts surge
Inflation cooled with a flat CPI in May while housing construction climbed 14.6 percent, the largest gain since 1995, led by a 9.6 percent rise in single family home building and a 23.2 percent jump in multifamily projects. Builders cite strong demand and low mortgage rates as positive signals for the housing market and broader recovery. The data suggest the Federal Reserve may hold rates steady through the summer as inflation remains subdued and growth steadies.
