Najczęstsze pytania
Co to Building Permits?
US Building Permits = miesięczny indicator approved permits dla new residential construction (single-family + multi-family) publikowany przez US Census Bureau. Leading indicator: developers muszą uzyskać permit przed startem construction. Permits wyprzedza Housing Starts o 1-2 miesiące. Components: (1) Single-family permits (dominant), (2) Multi-family (apartments, condos), (3) Total permits. Część Leading Economic Index (LEI) publikowanego przez Conference Board. Forex relevance: housing market = ~15% US GDP. Strong permits = construction jobs + consumer confidence + USD bullish. Weak permits = recession leading signal (housing często leads economic cycles).
Permits vs Housing Starts?
Both publikowane razem 14:30 CET mid-month, ale różne sygnały. Permits: approved permits w danym miesiącu. Future construction. Leading. Housing Starts: rozpoczęte budowy w danym miesiącu. Current activity. Coincident. Diff: permits leads starts 1-2 miesiące. Trader patrzy najpierw na permits, potem confirm starts. Examples: 2008 housing crisis — permits spadły -40% Q1 2008, starts dropped -35% Q2 2008 (lag 1 quarter). 2020 COVID: permits -22% April, starts -30% May. Praktyka: forex traders use permits jako early warning, starts jako confirmation. Combined signal: oba w tym samym kierunku = strong macro signal.
Forex impact magnitude?
Per surprise (annualized rate, expressed w tysiącach): (1) +/- 20k: minimal, 5-10 pips USD/JPY. (2) +/- 50k: notable, 20-50 pips. (3) +/- 100k: major, 50-100 pips. (4) +/- 200k: exceptional, 100+ pips. Asymetria: negative surprise = bigger reaction (recession risk). Best correlations: USD/JPY +0.4 z Permits, USD/CAD +0.35 (housing-linked Canada), EUR/USD -0.3. Patterns: rising permits 3+ miesięcy = USD bullish trend confirmed. Falling permits 3+ miesięcy = recession signal, USD initially weak (Fed cuts expected). Niska media coverage = edge dla disciplined trader. Permits often overshadowed by CPI w tym samym tygodniu.
