Housing Starts
A monthly U.S. economic indicator from the U.S. Census Bureau and Department of Housing and Urban Development that measures the number of new residential building projects started in the period. Divided into single-family and multi-family. The most economically important are single-family starts.
Housing starts are a piece of the Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index, which tracks the economy’s direction. The thinking is that a start today means construction jobs tomorrow and, eventually, demand for materials, appliances and furniture economic multiplier effects that extend well beyond the building sector.
The series is volatile from month to month, especially due to weather impacts. Analysts use three-month rolling averages and building permits, which lead starts by one to two months, for cleaner signals.
Example: Housing starts fall for the third month in a row after a big jump in mortgage rates. Homebuilder stocks fall on the release. The Federal Reserve views the drop as evidence that monetary tightening is cooling the housing sector, usually one of the first sectors of the economy to respond visibly to changes in borrowing costs, and confirming that policy transmission is working as intended.

Hungarian Forint (HUF)
The official currency of Hungary. Issued by the Hungarian National Bank (MNB). It is divided into 100 fillér, but fillér is not used in practice anymore. Hungary has stuck to its national currency as a policy preference, and is one of the EU member states that have not adopted the euro.
The forint is freely floating against other currencies. The MNB has a history of large rate moves in line with inflation cycles and has used FX swap tools and direct intervention to curb excessive forint volatility.
The HUF is most liquid in EUR/HUF and hence sensitive to both eurozone economic releases and domestic fiscal/political developments. Hungary’s economy is closely tied to the eurozone through trade and foreign direct investment (FDI), especially through German automotive supply chains.
Example: Hungary’s central bank is sharply raising interest rates in response to rapidly rising inflation and a weakening forint. Aggressive tightening attracts carry-trade inflows, investors borrow in low-yielding currencies to buy high-yielding HUF assets which temporarily strengthens the forint. The question is whether the rate hikes are taking hold against inflation, or whether they are just attracting speculative capital that will reverse at the first sign of policy weakness.
Hurdle rate
The minimum rate of return that a hedge fund or other investments must achieve to justify the fees charged to clients.
Hybrid security
A financial instrument that combines the features of both debt and equity securities.
Hybrid Wallet
A cryptocurrency wallet that has elements of hot and cold storage with the convenience of easier access but more security than a wallet that is entirely online. Hybrid designs, however, generate and store private keys locally on the user device, rather than on a remote server, while still being connected to the internet for broadcasting transactions.
The most common type is a non-custodial software wallet, meaning the user holds the keys to their own assets (as they would with a non-custodial exchange account where the exchange holds the keys) but the application is internet-connected. This maintains self-custody without the need for physical hardware, sitting between pure hot storage (server-held keys) and full cold storage (offline keys).
Another hybrid approach comes in the form of multi-signature wallets, where multiple keys authorize each transaction, some online for convenience and others offline, requiring both to co-sign before any funds move.
Example: An investor has a non-custodial mobile wallet with private keys saved on their phone, not the provider’s servers. The wallet is internet-enabled for ease of use but the provider is unable to access the funds as the keys never leave the device. The key advantage of the hybrid model over custodial exchange accounts is that the keys are controlled by the provider and if their infrastructure is hacked the investor’s assets remain safe.
