ECONOMIC REPORT: PPI falls 0.6% in Jan. on energy prices
By Greg Robb, MarketWatch Last Update: 8:31 AM ET Feb 16, 2007

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. wholesale prices fell in January on a drop in energy prices, while core prices increased modestly, the Labor Department reported Friday.
Wholesale energy prices fell 0.6% in January after two sizable gains in November and December.
The core producer price index - which excludes food and energy prices--rose 0.2% in January for the second consecutive month.
The drop in wholesale prices and the gain in the core rate were in line with the expectations of Wall Street economists surveyed by MarketWatch.
In December, the PPI rose 0.9% and the core rate rose 0.2%.
In the past year, the PPI has risen 0.2% compared with 1.1% last month. The core rate has decelerated to a 1.8% increase in the past 12 months, compared with 2.0% a month ago.
The main factor behind the drop in wholesale prices in January was the sharp decline in energy prices. Gasoline prices fell 13%. Natural gas prices fell 1.9%.
A slew of factors led to the increase in the core rate, including higher prices for drug preparations, civilian aircraft, cigarettes and women's apparel.
Drug preparations rose 1.3%, the biggest gain since May while civilian aircraft prices rose 1.1%, the biggest gain since November.
At the same time, prices for light motor trucks fell 1.4% and passenger car prices fell a slim 0.1% in the month.
Prices of intermediate goods fell 0.7% on a 3.8% drop in energy prices. Prices of crude goods fell 6.3% as energy costs fell 16.2%.
Excluding food and energy, intermediate prices rose 0.1% and core crude prices rose 1.1%.
The basic industrial materials index rose 1.6% in January after a 0.5% gain in the previous month.

ECONOMIC REPORT: Housing starts plunge 14.3% to 10-year low; New home construction down 37.8% year-on-year
By Rex Nutting, MarketWatch Last Update: 8:30 AM ET Feb 16, 2007

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. home builders started the fewest homes in nearly a decade in January, as housing starts plunged 14.3% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.408 million, the Commerce Department reported Friday.
It's the lowest rate for starts since August 1997. Housing starts were down 37.8% compared with January 2006.
Building permits dropped 2.8% to 1.568 million in January, 28.6% below the same month a year ago.
The starts figure was much lower than expected on Wall Street, where economists were looking for a 2% drop to 1.60 million annualized units. The permits figure was close to the 1.58 million expected by median forecast in the MarketWatch survey of economists.
The stunning drop in home building indicates that builders are scaling back their plans on a massive scale to work down the excess inventory of unsold homes on the market. Hopes that a bottom in the housing market has been reached will have to be re-evaluated
Starts of single-family homes dropped 11.2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.108 million, the lowest since August 1997. Permits for single-family homes fell 4% to 1.121 million, the lowest since December 1997.
Starts of multifamily units fell 24%, while permits for multifamily units rose 0.4%
Starts fell in three of the four regions in January. Starts rose about 9% in the Northeast, which enjoyed warmer and drier than normal weather in the first half of the month. Starts fell 28% in the West, 15% in the Midwest and 12% in the South. Starts in the Midwest were at the lowest level since 1991. Starts in the West fell to the lowest level since 1996. It was the biggest drop in the West since 1979.
Completions of new homes fell 1.2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.88 million, an indication that a significant amount of new supply is still hitting the market. It takes about 6 months for a home to go from groundbreaking to completion.
There were 1.2 million homes under construction in January, down 14% from the previous January.
The National Association of Home Builders reported on Thursday that its survey of builder sentiment rose in February to the highest level since June. Builders were much more optimistic about sales in six months than in current conditions.
Two weeks ago, the Commerce Department reported that the number of vacant homes increased by 34% in 2006 to 2.1 million at the end of the year, nearly double the long-term vacancy rate. Economists said there are 1 million excess homes.
The government's housing data are subject to large sampling and other statistical errors. It can take five months for a new trend in housing starts to emerge from the data.
In the past five months, housing starts have averaged 1.56 million annualized, down from 1.61 million in the five months ending in December and 2.12 million in January 2006.
Starts in November and December were revised lower by a cumulative 22,000 annualized.
