☆ Facing fallout from nickel crisis, LME appoints 'interim' chairman
  + stars: | 2023-04-21 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
LONDON, April 21 (Reuters) - The London Metal Exchange (LME) said on Friday it had appointed John Williamson, currently a non-executive director, as interim chairman from the end of April, when current Chair Gay Huey Evans steps down. Williamson's appointment comes as the world's largest and oldest metals forum grapples with slumping nickel volumes after the chaos in March 2022 when the LME suspended nickel trading for more than a week. Metal industry sources are surprised that Williamson's appointment is on an interim basis, which they say creates uncertainty during a tumultuous time. The LME declined to comment on why the appointment was on an interim basis. A lawsuit brought by Elliott Associates and Jane Street Global Trading against the LME for cancelling nickel trades will be heard in a London court on June 20-22.
☆ Homebuilder sentiment rises in April, as builders grab near-record share of the market
  + stars: | 2023-04-17 | by ( Diana Olick | In Dianaolick | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index rose to 45 in April, a one-point gain. Builders in the report cited a lack of listings on the resale market, which gave them an unusually strong edge. Slightly lower mortgage rates are also helping demand — though rates are still higher than they were a year ago. "Builders note that additional declines in mortgage rates, to below 6%, will price-in further demand for housing," said Alicia Huey, NAHB chairman and a custom homebuilder and developer from Birmingham, Alabama. It marked the first time both of the indicators were positive since June, when mortgage rates really took off.

☆ Homebuilders say demand is rising, but they're concerned about a banking fallout
  + stars: | 2023-03-15 | by ( Diana Olick | In Dianaolick | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index rose two points to 44. "But given recent instability concerns in the banking system and volatility in interest rates, builders are highly uncertain about the near- and medium-term outlook." Of the index's three components, current sales conditions rose two points to 49, and buyer traffic rose three points to 31. Accordingly, the housing market continues shifting as growing household and family formation continued to drive demand against a chronic supply shortage." In the South it rose five points to 45, and in the West it moved four points higher to 34.

The fate of flight MH370 became one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries when it disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014. In 2018, Malaysia engaged Ocean Infinity to search for the aircraft in the southern Indian Ocean, offering to pay up to $70 million if it found the plane. Ocean Infinity and Malaysia's transport ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

☆ Home builder sentiment sees biggest monthly jump since 2013
  + stars: | 2023-02-15 | by ( Anna Bahney | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
Washington, DC CNN —Home builder confidence jumped this month by the largest amount in almost 10 years, as falling mortgage rates pulled in more buyers. All three metrics rose in February for the second straight month, showing the strongest reading since September and the largest monthly increase for builder sentiment since June 2013. “Even as the Federal Reserve continues to tighten monetary policy conditions, forecasts indicate that the housing market has passed peak mortgage rates for this cycle,” he said. But mortgage rates that are lower now than they were last fall are improving affordability for buyers. The average mortgage rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage rate peaked last year at 7.08% in November, according to Freddie Mac.

America's homebuilders are growing more bullish as buyer demand picks up, driven in part by slightly lower mortgage rates. Homebuilder confidence in the market for newly built single-family homes in February rose seven points to 42, according to the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. This is the highest reading since September and the largest monthly gain since June 2013. The index stood at 81 in February of last year, before mortgage rates began to rise. Builders say affordability is improving, as mortgage rates fall back from their highs of last fall and start to settle in a narrow range.
☆ U.S. home builder confidence extends rebound in February, NAHB says
  + stars: | 2023-02-15 | by ( Dan Burns | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Feb 15 (Reuters) - Confidence among U.S. single-family homebuilders improved for a second straight month in February - and by much more than economists had anticipated - in a fresh signal the housing market was turning a corner after last year's huge slump. The reading - the highest since September - was also higher than all 33 projections in a Reuters survey of economists, which had a median estimate of 37. A reading below 50 indicates that more builders view conditions as poor rather than good. Moreover, it appears that the peak in mortgage rates has passed, said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. NAHB said all four regions saw improved sentiment and the index tracking expectations for future sales rose for a third month.

☆ Noi secțiuni dintr-un turn aztec al craniilor au fost descoperite de arheologii din Mexic

Turnul a fost descoperit în 2015 în timpul lucrărilor de restaurare a unei clădiri din capitala Mexicului. Experții cred că turnul face parte dintr-un templu destinat zeului aztec al Soarelui, războiului și sacrificiului uman. Cunoscut drept Huey Tzompantli, turnul plin de cranii era situat cândva într-un colț al paraclisului lui Huitzilopochtli, protectorul capitalei aztece Tenochtitlan. Una dintre cele mai impresionante descoperiri arheologice din MexicImperiul lor a fost înlăturat de către invadatorii conduși de conchistadorul Hernán Cortés, care a capturat Tenochtitlan în 1521. O structură similară celei din Huey Tzompantli a înspăimântat soldații care îl însoțeau pe conchistador atunci când au invadat orașul.
