Eyes on U.S. growth, employment and monetary policy
WEEKLY MARKET COMMENTARY |
With the sovereign debt crisis in Europe easing, investor focus this week will be on U.S. growth, employment and monetary policy. This week’s data calendar includes a bevy of first-tier economic releases featuring fresh information on the manufacturing sector, housing, consumer confidence, first-time jobless claims and the initial estimate of gross domestic product for the second quarter.
Also this week, the U.S. Treasury will issue $26 billion in 2-year notes on Tuesday, $15 billion in 5-year notes on Wednesday and $35 billion in 7-year notes on Thursday.
