    Dodge Momentum Index Rebounds in July

    Written by David Schollaert

    The Dodge Momentum Index moved 2.9% higher in July, gaining ground on the upwardly revised reading for the month prior, according to data and analytics from the Dodge Construction Network. The index registered 178.7 last month, up from 173.6 in June.

    The leading index for commercial real estate measures data about planned nonresidential building projects to track spending in the sector. For July, the subcomponents diverged, though, with the institutional component of the Momentum Index slipping 2% while the commercial component increased 5.5%.
