If you’re new, already hooked on our new spotlight feature – or are ready to get the MH professional fever – our headline report is found further below, after the newsmaker bullets and major indexes closing tickers.
The evolving Daily Business News market report sets the manufactured home industry’s stocks in the broader context of the overall markets. Headlines – at home and abroad – often move the markets. So, this is an example of “News through the lens of manufactured homes, and factory-built housing.” ©
Part of this unique evening feature provides headlines – from both sides of the left-right media divide – which saves busy readers time, while underscoring topics that may be moving investors, which in turn move the markets.
Readers say this is also a useful quick-review tool that saves researchers time in getting a handle of the manufactured housing industry, through the lens of publicly-traded stocks connected with the manufactured home industry.
This is an exclusive evening or nightly example of MH “Industry News, Tips and Views, Pros Can Use.” © It is fascinating to see just how similar, and different, these two lists of headlines can be.

Today’s Big Movers
For all the scores and highlights on tracked manufactured home connected stocks today, see the Bloomberg graphic, posted below.
Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
“White House economic advisers are spreading the word that second-quarter GDP, out Friday, may surpass 4% – the first time growth has hit or exceeded that number since the third quarter of 2014, FOX Business has learned,” said Fox Business.
The White House is mum on the above. But their press room has told the Daily Business News on MHProNews about the following from U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Alex Acosta.
“We must tear down unnecessary barriers to work,” wrote Secretary Acosta Friday. “Excessive licensing forces individuals, like barbers, teachers and nurses, who move from state to state, to give up their career or retake certifications and pay high fees to get back to work.” He called on states to reevaluate their approaches.
On the heels of last week’s Pledge to America’s Workers, where more than 20 companies committed to investing in 3.8 million opportunities for our Nation’s workforce, Secretary Acosta ran through the myriad other ways the Trump Administration is expanding opportunity for all Americans:
- The President has restored a commonsense approach to regulation, which should “focus on protecting health and safety,” Secretary Acosta says.
- The Administration is helping transition Americans who are reentering society from prison to jobs, releasing $84.4 million in grants to community groups.
- A new Executive Order in May helps alleviate the burden for military spouses as their families are reassigned from one state to another.
- Thanks in part to tax cuts and reform, record unemployment lows were set for African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Asian-Americans.
Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase – the largest U.S. bank – recently mentioned concerns over the growing tariff and trade issue, but balanced it by saying that something certainly had to be done.
“If you do another $200 billion of tariffs and this national security thing about cars, I think that you’re getting pretty close to reversing some of the benefits you’ve seen in the economy,” Dimon said in an interview with CNNMoney.
Dimon, who also chairs the Business Roundtable – a lobby group of top U.S executives – said POTUS Trump is on solid ground criticizing serial abusers of trade practices, such as China. Still, Dimon was highly critical of the president’s broader trade agenda – and statement from his advisers – that minimize the effects of a tariff war against US trading partners in Europe and Canada.
The GDP report is expected Friday, and will be scrutinized by administration supporters and detractors. Stay tuned.
