Pre-market futures are mostly up but off earlier highs as global AI spending concerns dominate Wall Street, with Micron Technology set to report earnings after the close. The 21st Century Road to Housing Act, a bipartisan bill passed by both houses of Congress, aims to cut time and costs for new housing by reducing red tape and giving local jurisdictions flexibility to convert unused structures into multi-family units with monetary incentives, and is scheduled to be signed into law by President Trump today. New Home Sales for May are expected to rise to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 632,000 units, up from the prior month, though still near the low end of the 10-year range, while the April tally showed a 6.2% decline with a 9.4 months' supply and a median new home price of $422,500. KB Home reported a 2% revenue beat but a slight earnings miss in its fiscal second quarter, while Lennar and Pulte Home are set to report in about four weeks.
