The consumer price index, a major measure of the economy's health, will be published Friday, two days after the producer price index, out on Wednesday. Both will hit the newsfeeds at 8:30 a.m. New York time.
Comprehensive retail sales statistics will be released on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m., industrial production on Wednesday at 9:15 a.m. and housing starts on Friday at 8:30 a.m.
Also, look for the Philadelphia Federal Reserve business outlook survey on Thursday at 10 a.m.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen delivers her semiannual report to each house of Congress this week. She testifies before the House Committee on Financial Services on Wednesday at 10 a.m. and before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs on Thursday at 2:30 p.m.
In between the two rounds of testimony, the Federal Reserve will publish the Beige Book, on Thursday at 2 p.m.
Leading indicators (in descending order of importance):
The interest rate spread between 10-year Treasuries and the federal funds rate, reported continually during market hours.
The M2 money supply, at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
The S&P 500 index, reported continually during market hours.
Average weekly initial jobless claims, at 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
Building permits for new private homes from the housing starts report, at 8:30 a.m. Friday.
The index of consumer expectations from the Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment report, at 10 a.m. Friday.
Items of interest, arranged by day:
Monday: The Treasury budget at 2 p.m.
Tuesday: Retail sales and import and export prices at 8:30 a.m., and business inventories at 10 a.m.
Wednesday: Producer prices and the Empire State manufacturing survey, both at 8:30 a.m., industrial production at 9:15 a.m., petroleum inventories at 10:30 a.m. and the Federal Reserve Beige Book, a narrative of economic conditions in each of the Fed's regions, at 2 p.m.
