US home sales in record July slump
A record 27% slump in July home sales has intensified fears of a US double dip recessionFears intensified today that the US was heading for a double dip recession that could reverberate around the world after figures showed American home sales slumped twice as fast as expected last month to a 15-year low.The Dow Jones industrial average fell through the psychologically important 10,000 level and the FTSE 100 was also down sharply as global markets were rattled by news that sales of previously owned US homes dropped by a record 27.2% last month. The gloomy numbers intensified worries in the UK that it could be headed for its own double-dip after a stark warning to that effect from a Bank of England policymaker.In the latest of a slew of downbeat reports on the US economy, the National Association of Realtors said sales fell to an annual rate of 3.83m, the lowest level since May 1995. The pace of sales in June was also revised lower.The July drop dwarfed the 12% fall predicted by a Reuters poll of analysts. It pushed US government bond yields higher and the Dow Jones briefly fell through 10,000 before recovering a little to be down 108 points, or 1.1%, at 10,067 some 20 minutes after the data. The FTSE 100 closed down 79 points, or 1.5%, at 5156, having been sharply lower for most of the session after new BoE monetary policy committee member Martin Weale said in an interview with the Times that there was a risk of a double dip recession.On the foreign exchange markets the dollar fell against most other major currencies although it was still up against the pound which was hit by Weale’s double-dip comments. His warning and fears about the US economy left investors flocking to the safe-haven of bonds.
