Shares of home builders rise after Fed news 12/18 11:17 AM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Shares of major home builders rose Wednesday after the Federal Reserve upped its forecast for economic growth in 2014. The stocks rebounded after an initial drop following the Fed's news that it is starting to taper the massive asset-purchase program that has been exerting downward pressure on long-term rates. Shares of D.R. Horton (DHI:$19.95,00$1.04,005.50%) were recently up almost 4%, higher than the nearly 2% gain right before the Fed's announcement. Likewise, shares of Lennar (LEN:$37.05,00$1.85,005.26%) were recently up more than 4%, compared with a gain of 3% right before the announcement.
