Builders FirstSource, Fortune Brands and Gibraltar tumble

Shares of Builders FirstSource, Fortune Brands and Gibraltar slid in U.S. afternoon trading on July 9 after President Trump declared the Iran ceasefire over and threatened further strikes, officials said. The statement pushed oil prices higher and lifted Treasury yields, creating an inflation scare that weighed on stocks tied to housing and building materials.

Housing-linked stocks drop

Higher oil raises input costs for construction and roofing materials, while rising Treasury yields increase borrowing costs and pressure mortgage expectations, traders said. That combination narrows margins for suppliers and slows demand for new homes, a dynamic that typically hurts shares of building-materials and home-improvement companies.

Builders FirstSource, Fortune Brands and Gibraltar are concentrated in supply chains and product lines most exposed to commodity and financing moves, data showed. The companies did not post a market statement during the session; officials said market participants immediately repriced risk for names most sensitive to materials inflation and funding costs.
