US Building Permits MoM Prel (Nov) M/M -1.6% (Prev. -0.3%)

The preliminary building permits data for November shows a larger-than-expected decline at -1.6%, compared to the previous month's -0.3%. This significant drop may indicate a cooling in the housing market, which can have implications for economic growth and housing-related sectors. Such data could influence policy discussions around interest rates, particularly if it suggests broader economic softness.
