Homebuilder stocks are moving lower early Monday amid a mostly flat equities market. SPDR S&P Homebuilders (NYSE: XHB) is lower by 1.4 percent. The downdraft appears to be profit taking following a move higher at the end of last week. It could also be tied to an analyst downgrade of PulteGroup (NYSE: PHM) by Citi. Citi downgraded PHM from Buy to Neutral.
