Economic indicators reasonable

The Federal Reserve did not change its target for short-term interest rates, and prices--while higher at both the producer and consumer level--remained reasonably in check. Industrial production, housing starts, and the index of leading economic indicators posted advances.

Of course new home purchases continue to rise - probably as a direct result of the increases in foreclosures. While this alone is not a great reason to cheer on - it is reason to look and and consider the fact that individuals are confident about the future and are willing to take a risk in investing in the future - either on their primary home or their investment home. As the US economy is very dependent on consumer sentiment (on the retail side) - even these small numbers should give a lot of hope to investors and economists who are keenly watching the situation.
