日本央行副行長內田真一：經濟下行風險降低是與上次會議最大的不同。

Bank of Japan says CPI YoY growth may accelerate to a rate clearly above 2%.

NAHB and Wells Fargo data released Monday showed the housing market index fell 2 points in June to 35, below consensus. The South, the largest U.S. residential-construction region, recorded the biggest drop since Nov. 2023. The index has stayed below 40 for a 14th consecutive month, the longest stretch since 2011–12. By component, the current-sales gauge slipped 2 points to 38 while future-sales expectations and buyer-traffic measures were unchanged. NAHB said rising mortgage rates, higher building-material costs, increased financing costs and permitting/regulatory headwinds are weighing on builders.
