Key drivers

  • Recent TTLCONS momentum is mildly positive but slowing
  • June housing starts rebounded while permits fell
  • Private residential spending remains rate-sensitive
  • Public construction is still a positive offset
  • May first print showed total spending only 0.1 percent higher

rule
Resolve to the first Census Monthly Construction Spending print for June 2026 total construction spending, seasonally adjusted annual rate, as mechanically captured by the ALFRED TTLCONS first vintage. Use the headline month-over-month percent change versus the revised May 2026 estimate in that first release; if resolving from TTLCONS levels, compute 100*(June 2026 first-print SAAR / revised May 2026 SAAR in the same first-print release - 1), round to one decimal percentage point for the reported print, and ignore later revisions.
