   U.S. stock futures notched up as dealers looked for some follow-through to
Monday's powerful rally in the Dow stocks. The dollar recovered some ground,
pushing the euro back to $1.18 level. US consumer prices were unchanged in May,
while the core rate, excluding the volatile food and energy costs rose 0.3 pct -
its largest gain since Aug 2002, the Labor Department said. The rise in the core

decline 0.1 pct and for the core rate to remain flat. Futures moved up on the
data.

Record hotel costs boost US May CPI core rate 17.06.2003 14:36    Headlines


   WASHINGTON (AFX) - US consumer prices were unchanged in May, while the core
rate, excluding the volatile food and energy costs rose 0.3 pct - its largest
gain since Aug 2002, the Labor Department said.
The rise in the core rate was a surprise. Wall Street economists had expected
the overall CPI to decline 0.1 pct and for the core rate to remain flat.
The gain in the core rate was boosted by a record rise in the cost of hotel
rooms in May.
On a year-on-year basis, the CPI was up 2.1%, while the core rate was up 1.6
pct.
Despite the increase in the core rate in May, inflation is still trending lower
this year. For the first five months of 2002, the CPI is running at a 2.3%
seasonally adjusted annual rate, compared with a 3.0% rate over the same month
last year. The core rate is running at a 1.1% rate, down from a 2.1% rate in the
first five months of 2002.
Energy prices fell 3.1% in May after falling 4.6% in April. Food prices rose 0.3
% after falling 0.1 % in the previous month.
Hotel costs rose 4.1% in May, the largest increase on record. As a result,
shelter costs rose 0.6%, the largest increase since Jan 1991.
Tobacco prices fell 0.5 % in May.
Transportation costs fell 1.3% despite a 7.3% jump in intercity transportation
costs.

U.S housing starts +6.1% led by multi-family units 17.06.2003 14:37    Headlines


   WASHINGTON (AFX) - Low mortgage rates and demand for multi-family dwellings
lifted U.S. housing starts last month, the latest government figures showed
Tuesday.
Housing units started rose 6.1 percent to a 1.732 million-unit annualized rate
in May, according to Commerce Department figures. The increase was owed in large
part to a 35 percent surge in groundbreaking for apartment and condominium
buildings.
It was the biggest one-month increase for the volatile multi-family sector since
December 1998, Commerce officials confirmed.
The closely watched single-family home sector recorded a 1.5 percent increase in
construction starts in May.
By region, starts in the Northeast fell 1.3 percent as wet weather kept
construction crews away.
Starts rose 0.7 percent in the West, jumped 14 percent in Midwest and surged 7.4
percent in the South.
Building permits, a gauge of future activity, rose 3.7 percent overall last
month. Single-family permits nosed up 0.3 percent after rising 1.6 percent in
April. Multi-family construction permits shot up 18.1 percent.
Still, the level of home permits last month, 1.788 million units annualized, was
the highest since December.
