US builder stocks were higher before the market on Friday, as unanticipated employment data eased the pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates this month, while driving the 10-year US Treasury yield downward. Leading individual stocks include Rainer, D.R. Horton, M/I Homes, LGI Homes, Mertage Homes, Poulter Group, and the Thor Brothers. Some construction suppliers rose at the same time, including Masco, Louisiana Pacific, and Hoffnan. SPDR S&P Builders ETF rose 2%. After the release of non-agricultural data, the non-essential consumer goods and essential consumer goods sectors generally rose, and Nike became an exception due to sales reports falling short of expectations.
