Housing starts plunge in March amid higher mortgage rates
Housing construction dropped 11.2 percent in March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.60 million, the steepest one month decline since January 1994. Multifamily starts fell sharply while single-family begins barely rose, signaling a cooling but healthy level of activity that may support further rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.

Supreme Court tightens path for state habeas appeals
The high court, split 5-4, upholds limits from the 1996 Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, restricting federal review of state convictions in habeas corpus. Observers warn the ruling could affect thousands, including more than 3,600 death-row inmates, by making it harder to overturn tainted sentences. Justice O'Connor writes for the majority while critics say it narrows federal access to review.
