Economic & Market news GS & Co.1 The Empire Manufacturing Survey increased by a more-than-

expected 2.03 points in January from a level that was revised downby about 0.6 points. The modest increase in the headline index

masks much larger gains in orders, shipments, and employment

and continues to point to firm growth in manufacturing.

Housing starts decreased by 4.3% in December with the drop led

by a 9% drop in single-family starts not far from 50-year lows set in

early 2009. Multifamily starts were up 18%, although they remain at

exceptionally low levels.

Initial claims fell a sharp 37k to 404k in the second week of the

new year, suggesting that the surge reported for the preceding

week was probably a processing payback for earlier low holiday-

week readings. The latest reading on continuing claims was also

better than expected, falling for the third week by 26k to 3.86mm.

Existing home sales roseby a more-than-expected 12.3% in

December. In a remarkably even performance across the country,

sales rose at a double-digit pace in all four major census regions.

The Philadelphia Fed Survey held roughly steady in January, at

19.3 versus 20.8 in December, but the composition of the report

was substantially stronger. The report showed broad growth in

orders and employment, and existing home sales rising faster than

expectations.
