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 markets and stocks snapshot, at the closing bell…
Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –

Statements from Washington, D.C. today indicate that there is a delicate balancing act being attempted. On the one hand, the U.S. sanctions on Iran are reportedly having an impact on their economy, as the first video from right-of-center Fox Business reflects.
Their Fox Business YouTube page says, “Heritage Foundation’s Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom Nile Gardiner on U.S. tensions with Iran and trade negotiations with China. Tensions have escalated after Iran shot down a U.S. drone near the Strait of Hormuz.”
But what’s interesting is how the Trump Administration has responded. When President Trump floated the notion in this second video that this might have been a mistake or rouge actor, that potentially gives Iran a face-saving off-ramp. Per the Fox Business YouTube page, “Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ Jonathan Schanzer and Liberty Oilfield Services CEO Chris Wright discuss Iran’s attack on a U.S. drone and how oil prices are being affected by the U.S.-Iranian tensions.”
The question is, does Iran want that off-ramp? Time will tell if they respond, properly, and promptly enough.
Those issues aside, a key interest for industry professionals beyond the national and international ones is the price of oil and the impact on stocks. The 45th president’s measured statement calmed the markets, and stocks that initially retreated rose instead.
Because the U.S. has become the largest producer of oil and natural gas, the impact on crude oil, while significant, was mild compared to what something like this might have caused 4 or more years ago. Additional details on the impact of oil on manufactured housing is found in the related report, below.
