U.S. home prices were unchanged in March but remained at a post-recession low, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city composite index. The flat reading breaks a streak of five consecutive declines. Five of the 20 cities in gauge including Portland — hit new lows. |
In Greece, polls showed that the conservative New Democracy party was ahead of the anti-bailout, left-wing Syriza. Greece will hold an election on June 17, as concerns grow over whether the country will stay committed to austerity measures and be able to remain in the euro zone. |
