US housing data: Tuesday, 13:30. US building permits jumped to an annualized level of 1.32 million in October, but this level is not expected to hold: 1.28 is forecast now. Housing starts also looked good with 1.29 million and a level of 1.25 is on the cards for November. Note that for a meaningful effect, both figures need to go in the same direction. In some cases, one surprises to the upside and the other to the downside, offsetting each other.
