USA: According to recent construction data, U.S. housing starts showed an uptick late in 2025, signalling a modest rebound in residential building activity after earlier softness during the year. The increase was driven in part by a rise in single‑family housing starts, which reached their highest level since February, suggesting builders responded to improving seasonal and market conditions. While starts earlier in 2025 had been weighed down by affordability challenges, elevated mortgage rates and cost pressures, the late‑year uptick offers a degree of resilience in the housing market. This recovery in groundbreaking may reflect builders adapting to demand shifts and seasonal trends, though broader economic headwinds and building cost concerns continue to influence overall construction sentiment.
