US May CaseShiller 20-city house price index +6.8% y/y vs +6.7% expected

  • Prior was +7.2%
  • Prices m/m +0.3% vs +0.4% expected

National house price data from the FHFA:

  • Prices up 5.7% y/y vs 6.3% prior
  • Prices m/m 0.0% vs +0.2% prior

The creeping weakness is more-evident in the national numbers, rather than in the 20-largest cities. Long-dated yields are coming down but I doubt there will be a surge housing demand if 30-year fixed rates fall to 6% from 6.8%.
