Here’s a look at the U.S. economic data set to be released this week. I’ve focused on including data that will drive general markets as well as the housing industry and mortgage bonds.
This week will start out slow from a data perspective but will finish with a spattering of releases that give us insight on the FED’s monetary policy outlook, the state of the booming housing market and how consumers are feeling.
