It's a busy week on the calendar

This Friday will be the first Friday of a new month but it's a rare one that skips non-farm payrolls. That's delayed until Dec 8 but in the interim, there are a series of reports that will be sure to move markets.

Tuesday:

  • Wholesale inventories
  • FHFA house price index
  • Case-Shiller house price index
  • Consumer confidence
  • Richmond Fed

Wednesday:

  • The second look at Q3 GDP
  • Pending home sales

Thursday:

  • Initial jobless claims
  • PCE report
  • Chicago PMI

Friday

  • ISM manufacturing
  • Construction spending
  • Auto sales

There is also a full slate of FOMC speakers so even if trading is a bit sluggish today, it's sure to pick up in the days ahead.
