Week Ahead
Moreover, durable goods orders are expected to rebound slightly from a 5.4% slump in October. Additionally, building permits and housing starts are anticipated to decline compared to the previous month, with new home sales potentially remaining near 2010 lows. However, there might be a slight rebound in new home sales and homebuilder sentiment.
Finally, attention will be focused on the final reading of Q3 GDP growth, Michigan consumer sentiment, CB consumer sentiment, Q3 current account, and the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index. (Source: Trading Economics)
