The National
Association of Realtors (NAR) announced on Wednesday its seasonally adjusted
pending home sales index (PHSI) jumped 8.8 percent m-o-m to 132.8 (a record
high) in August, after a 5.9 percent m-o-m jump in July.
Economists had
expected pending home sales to advance 3.4 percent m-o-m in August.
On y-o-y basis,
the index surged 24.2 percent after a 15.5 percent climb in July. This was the
biggest gain since October 2009.
According to
the report, all four regional indices recorded gains in contract activity on both
m-o-m and y-o-y basis in August. The Northeast PHSI rose 4.3 percent m-o-m to
117.1 in August, a 26.0 percent jump from a year ago. In the Midwest, the index
increased 8.6 percent m-o-m to 124.5 last month, up 25.0 percent from August
2019. Pending home sales in the South surged 8.6 percent m-o-m to an index of
154.2 in August, up 23.6 percent from August 2019. The index in the West jumped
13.1 percent m-o-m in August to 120.3, up 23.6 percent from a year ago.
"Tremendously
low mortgage rates - below 3% - have again helped pending home sales climb in
August," noted Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. "Additionally,
the Fed intends to hold short-term fed funds rates near 0% for the foreseeable
future, which should in the absence of inflationary pressure keep mortgage
rates low, and that will undoubtably aid homebuyers continuing to enter the
marketplace."

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
