Market Consensus before announcement Construction spending rebounded 0.6 percent in September, following a decline of 0.1 percent the prior month. The boost in September was led by a 2.8 percent increase in private residential outlays after a 1.2 percent fall the month before. For the latest month, private nonresidential spending slipped 0.1 percent while public outlays decreased 0.8 percent. The construction sector continues to improve but largely in housing with the single-family component perhaps joining the multifamily component with notable strength.
