Initial jobless claims and Chicago Fed national activity up next

Economic data coming up next

The economic calendar is light on data (but has some big speakers). Two releases are due at the bottom of the hour but they're unlikely to be market movers. Initial jobless claims are expected at 261K and the Chicago Fed national activity index is forecast to slip to 0.15 from 0.27.

Later, reports on Eurozone consumer confidence and existing home sales are due.
