Construction spending blips
The Commerce Department reported that construction spending increased 0.3 percent in March, the best showing since a similar rise last September, as strength in nonresidential projects and government building offset a further slide in housing. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected spending to drop 1.5 percent. The rebound may be temporary, however, given that the severe financial crisis has made it hard for builders to obtain financing. Spending on private residential projects fell 4.2 percent in March, the latest in a series of declines that began three years ago when the housing bubble burst.
