It appears, though, that progress is being made on the housing front.  BusinessWeek reports on the <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-02-17/housing-starts-in-u-s-increased-2-8-in-january-permits-fell.html" target="_blank" title="housing starts, spread betting, contracts for differences, U.S. markets, spread bets, CFDs, building permits">pace of the housing market recovery</a>: <blockquote> “We’re in a slow and steady progress phase of the housing recovery,” said Aaron Smith, a senior economist at Moody’s Economy.com in West Chester, Pennsylvania, who forecast new-home construction would increase to a 590,000 pace. “The trend will be upward, but it’s going to be a bumpy path higher.” </blockquote> The news is good enough, though, to give a boost to the U.S. stock market in early trading.
