U.S. house prices rose 1.1% in May, supported by the spring sales market, with gains in all cities tracked by the Case-Shiller 20-city composite index. Prices fell 0.2% after seasonal adjustment. Home prices in May were up 4.9% from a year earlier, slightly slower than April’s annual growth of 5%. Denver saw the fastest year-over-year home-price growth in May, hitting 10%. Portland and Seattle were both up 1.4% for the month and 7.4% annually.
The Shanghai Composite Index finished down 1.7% at 3663, having fallen as much as 5% and risen as much as 1% earlier. The index has lost 11% since Friday and is down nearly 30% from its mid-June high. The smaller Shenzhen Composite closed off 2.2% at 2111.70, after falling more than 6% earlier Tuesday. Government measures to step up purchases of stocks, announced late Monday, appeared to reassure some investors, shaken earlier by the steep losses the day before.
