The evolving Daily Business News market report sets the manufactured home industry’s stocks in the broader context of the overall markets.  Headlines – at home and abroad – often move the markets.  So, this is an example of “News through the lens of manufactured homes, and factory-built housing.” ©

Part of this unique evening feature provides headlines – from both sides of the left-right media divide – which saves busy readers time, while underscoring topics that may be moving investors, which in turn move the markets.

Readers say this is also a useful quick-review tool that saves researchers time in getting a handle of the manufactured housing industry, through the lens of publicly-traded stocks connected with the manufactured home industry.

This is an exclusive evening or nightly example of MH “Industry News, Tips and Views, Pros Can Use.” © It is fascinating to see just how similar, and different, these two lists of headlines can be.

Per left-of-center CNBC…

·        The central bank says it will begin in May to taper the amount of proceeds it allows to roll off each month and will end the program in September.

·        The amount for Treasurys will drop to $15 billion in May. Under the current program, it is allowing $30 billion in Treasury proceeds to roll off.

·        The total of Treasurys and MBS once totaled more than $4.2 trillion and has been reduced by about $450 billion in the program that began in October 2017.

 

Part of the risk matrix includes Brexit and U.S. China trade talks.  Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said that both Europe and China have slowed significantly. 

By comparison, the U.S. is doing far better.

 

The above noted, this has not been the only artificial headwinds that have buffeted the markets.  Sam Zell observed in 2017 that one can’t overlook the impact of politics on investing. 

If Democrats hold the House, and/or take the Senate and the White House, expect a sea change in the investment outlook.
