Already hurting as the 2009 economic stimulus begins to run out, the Building Materials sector will see further weakness if the government fails to extend the transportation funding set to expire on December 31st. Cement and asphalt makers are highly dependent on government highway projects and without an extension state government will be unlikely to initiate new long-term projects. This would work to hurt demand, increase competition, and ultimately increase already mounting pressure on prices.
