Home prices in major U.S. metropolitan areas increased at a slower annual rate in the month of February, according to a report released by Standard & Poor’s on Tuesday.

Gross mortgage borrowing jumped 64 percent year-on-year to GBP 17.1 billion in March, which was the highest figure since April 2008, the British Bankers’ Association said Tuesday. Mortgage borrowing for house purchase at GBP 11.5 billion was 90 percent higher than a year ago.
