## Elevator Pitch

- The US Homebuilding sector has consistently surprised positively on doomsday expectations.
- This could be a golden opportunity to play the US housing market theme via the ITB US Homebuilders ETF.
- Borrowing rates, new home sales data and rent inflation all paint a more constructive outlook on the pressured homebuilding sector.
- Technical analysis also suggests a bullish outlook, and I anticipate ITB to generate positive returns and also outperform the S&P 500.
