“(AP) NICOSIA, Cyprus – Ratings agency Standard & Poor’s lowered Cyprus’ sovereign debt grade one notch deeper into junk territory on Thursday and warned of further downgrades over concerns that the country’s troubled banks will continue to strain public finances.

Germany pushes back after the downgrade…

“U.S. homebuilders are an attractive investment as the housing market starts a “strong” recovery that may drive a surge in new-home sales, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) said in a report today.

Housing has a “long list of positives,” including rising prices, job growth, supportive government policies and a decline in the so-called shadow inventory of homes, Goldman Sachs analysts Joshua Pollard and Anto Savarirajan wrote in a note to clients. They raised their rating on the homebuilding industry to attractive from neutral.”
