I'm Sabrina Siddiqui for The Wall Street Journal, covering for Alex Osola.
This is the PM edition of What's News, the top headlines and business stories that move the world today.
Homebuilding in the U.S.
increased last month, contradicting expectations that it would fall amid a fragile housing market.
According to a report released by the Commerce Department today, housing starts, a gauge of new residential construction, rose to $1.428 million in July from an upwardly revised $1.358 million in June.
Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had anticipated a lower 1.3 million starts.
Today's report says the housing starts were 12.9 percent higher than a year earlier.
But residential permits, another measure of trends in housing construction, fell short of forecasts and slipped to 1.354 million from a downwardly revised 1.393 million in June.
The National Association of Home Builders said the increase in housing starts occurred despite a slight decline in builder sentiment due to persistently high mortgage rates.
Tariffs will soon start hitting some price tags at Home Depot.
The home improvement retailer said it will raise prices on some items due to tariffs, reversing an earlier position.
In an interview, Chief Financial Officer Richard McPhail said there will be some modest price movement for some categories.
The company said that 50% of its products are sourced domestically and aren't subject to tariffs.
Wall Street Journal reporter Nicholas Miller joins me now to discuss.
Nicholas, the company previously said it wouldn't raise prices as a result of tariffs.
What changed and what do they now anticipate the impact of tariffs to be?
How does Home Depot see the current market and consumer behavior?
Nicholas Miller is a reporter at The Wall Street Journal.
Nicholas, thank you.
