Estados Unidos Gastos de Construção

Construction spending in the United States fell by 0.3% month-over-month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2,138 billion in May 2025, marking a seventh consecutive monthly decline. The decrease followed a revised 0.2% fall in April and came in worse than the projected 0.2% decrease, primarily reflecting a 0.5% drop in private sector investment. Within the residential category, spending dropped 0.5%, largely due to a 1.8% fall in new single-family home construction. At the same time, the nonresidential segment shrank by 0.4%. Meanwhile, public spending edged up by 0.1%, entirely driven by a 1.4% increase in the residential sector. On a yearly basis, construction spending slumped by 3.5% in May.
