A | LOS ANGELES -- Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes fell for the fourth month in a row in September, held back by surging mortgage rates and a thin supply of properties on the market.Existing home sales fell 2% last month from August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.96 million, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. That’s just above the 3.9 million unit pace that economists were expecting, according to FactSet.Sales sank 15.4% compared with the same month last year and are down 21% through the first nine months of the year versus the same period in 2022.Despite the housing market slump, home prices kept climbing versus a year ago. The national median sales price rose 2.8% from September last year to $394,300. It slipped 3.1% from August.“Clearly, the story of limited inventory and rising and rising mortgage rates continues to hinder the home sales market,” said Lawrence Yun, the NAR’s chief economist.The weekly average rate on a 30-year mortgage moved above 7% in August, when many of the home sales that were finalized in September would have gone under contract. It has remained above that threshold since, surging last week to 7.57%, the highest level since 2000, according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac.High rates can add hundreds of dollars a month in costs for borrowers, limiting how much they can afford in a market already out of reach for many Americans. They also discourage homeowners who locked in rock-bottom rates two years ago from selling.While surging mortgage rates have shut out many prospective buyers, a chronic shortage of homes for sale continues to keep the market competitive, especially for the most affordable homes.Homes sold last month typically within just 21 days after hitting the market, and about 26% of homes sold for more than their list price, the NAR said.All told, there were 1.13 million homes on the market by the end of last month, up 2.7% from August, but down 8.1% from September last year, the NAR said. That amounts to just a 3.4-month supply, going by the current sales pace. In a more balanced market between buyers and sellers, there is a 4- to 5-month supply.。

原标题：重磅！今晚美国公布8月通胀报告，预计8.5%降至8%，延续降温趋势作为本周首个重磅数据，今晚美国公布8月通胀报告，预计会延续降温的趋势，从8.5%降至8.1%，核心CPI年率预计维持在5.9%；可能会再次显示较低的环比增长，甚至可能录得负增长（市场预期为-0.1%）。能源价格下跌令美国7月通胀率从四十年高位降至通胀开始飙升以来的最低水平，7月环比增速在连续25个月增长后持平，因为能源价格继续缓和，根据EIA的数据，8月份汽油价格大幅下跌。与此同时，机票价格走低，二手车和酒店价格回落，房租上涨也有所放缓。但除此之外，美联储将密切关注食品价格的波动，以寻找潜在通胀正在缓解的迹象，数据显示，一系列商品和服务价格仍远高于一年前的水平，如果这些关键领域物价压力不减，美联储不会轻易放缓加息。但关注随着供应状况的改善传导至消费者，未来几个月食品价格可能会回落。美联储主席鲍威尔明确表示，在放缓或暂停加息之前，希望看到明确且有说服力的证据表明物价压力正在减弱。在上周的讲话中，这一点得到强调，表示“坚定地致力于”抗击通胀。不过即便连续放缓，当前说通胀已经过了峰值还为时尚早，特别是考虑冬季能源价格会因为需求再次被推升，作为影响通胀的关键组成部分，很容易将物价再次推向新高。

B | 而在通胀公布前，隔夜美股市场因最新通胀预期连续放缓而获得提振，纽约联储的月度消费者预期调查显示，8月消费者认为未来12个月的通胀率料为5.75%，为2021年10月以来最低。消费者还预计未来三年的平均物价增幅为2.8%，为2020年底以来最低。美联储官员曾表示，控制通胀预期是确保通胀率在某个时候回落至2%目标的重要组成部分。
