Quanex, Masco, and Hayward Shares Plummet on Housing and Oil Fears

Shares of home construction materials companies Quanex, Masco, and Hayward fell sharply after President Trump declared the Iran ceasefire over and threatened more strikes, driving oil prices higher and lifting bond yields in an inflation scare that hit housing-related stocks. Quanex dropped 3.3%, Masco fell 3.7%, and Hayward declined 3%. The sell-off reflected a double headwind: rising yields push mortgage rates up and cool the housing outlook, while surging crude raises production and freight costs for energy-intensive building products, squeezing margins. Masco's move was notable as its shares have had only three moves greater than 5% over the past year, indicating the market considered the news meaningful.

Owens Corning and Quanex Stocks Jump After Congress Passes Housing Supply Bill

Owens Corning and Quanex shares surged over 7% after both chambers of Congress passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the most significant federal housing-supply legislation since 1990. The bill aims to boost supply by cutting red tape, streamlining environmental reviews, modernizing manufactured-housing rules, and barring institutional owners of 350-plus single-family homes from buying more existing homes. Peer KB Home also reported a revenue beat with Q2 revenue of $1.11 billion, exceeding the $1.10 billion consensus, while the 10-year Treasury yield dropped below 4.5%, signaling potential mortgage rate relief. Owens Corning gained 7.1% and Quanex gained 7%, with the market viewing the legislation as a multi-year volume catalyst for builders despite mortgage rates remaining around 6.5% to 6.8%.
