- private residential was positive in May
- private nonresidential and manufacturing remain drags
- public construction was positive in May
- monthly construction spending changes have wide revision-prone dispersion
Resolution
- source
- U.S. Census Bureau Construction Spending release, mirrored through the registered ALFRED TTLCONS first-vintage binding
- expected
- September 1, 2026
- rule
- Resolve to the first official print for July 2026 total construction spending, seasonally adjusted annual rate, as the percent change from June 2026 to July 2026 implied by TTLCONS in the registered ALFRED first-vintage source. Use the first posted vintage only; do not incorporate later Census/FRED/ALFRED revisions or same-day corrections unless they are part of the initially posted release vintage. Round to one decimal percentage point, matching the Census/FRED percent-change display convention.
