U.S. Housing Starts Jump 19% in June, but Gold Remains Trapped Below $4,000

According to Kitco News, citing Commerce Department data announced Friday, U.S. housing starts surged 19% in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.47 million units, significantly exceeding economist expectations of 1.31 million units. However, building permits fell 3% to 1.37 million units, signaling limited recovery momentum ahead.

The housing market data failed to support gold prices, which remain under pressure as safe-haven demand stays muted. Spot gold last traded at $3,966.60 per ounce, down 0.22% on the day, unable to sustain support above $4,000.
