U.S. Home Sales Contribute to Slowing U.S. Economy

New home sales to continue to drop
Economic data continues to show that U.S. home sales are dropping, and this is contributing to a slowdown in the U.S. economy. Spread bets and CFDs on U.S. financial markets should consider that home sales will likely continue to affect the growth of the U.S. economy for a while. Reuters reports on U.S. home sales:

"In 2007 new home sales have already plunged 25 percent," said ING in a note to clients. "In the next few months, with sales conditions unlikely to improve significantly if at all we expect new home sales to reach fresh multi-years lows."
