The ADP employment report, released Wednesday at 8:15 a.m., by a private-sector payroll company, will provide a sneak preview of the main event.
Two other major reports will potentially pummel the markets during the week: Personal income and outlays on Monday at 8:30 a.m. and the Institute of Supply Management manufacturing survey on Thursday at 10 a.m.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen gives welcoming remarks at the Community Banking Research and Policy Conference in St. Louis, Missouri, on Wednesday at 3 p.m. It's not a policy address and there's no reason to think that there will be anything new on money policy, but just in case, I shall keep one eye on the event.
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 average hourly workweek in manufacturing from the employment report, at 8:30 a.m. Friday.
Manufacturers' new orders for consumer goods and materials from the factory orders report, at 10 a.m. Friday.
Vendor performance, also called the deliveries times index, from the ISM manufacturing survey at 10 a.m. Thursday.
The S&P 500 index, reported continually during market hours.
Average weekly initial jobless claims, at 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
Events arranged by day:
Monday: Personal income and outlays at 8:30 a.m., pending home sales at 10 a.m. and the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank manufacturing survey at 10:30 a.m.
Tuesday: The S&P Case-Shiller home price index covering 20 metro areas at 9 a.m. and consumer confidence at 10 a.m.
Wednesday: The ADP employment report st 8:15 a.m., the Chicago Purchasing Managers index at 9:45 a.m., petroleum inventories at 10:30 a.m. and Fed Chair Yellen remarks at 3 p.m.
Thursday: Motor vehicle sales throughout the day, jobless claims at 8:30 a.m., the Purchasing Managers Institute manufacturing index at 9:45 a.m., the ISM manufacturing survey and construction spending, each at 10 a.m., and the M2 money supply at 4:30 p.m.
Friday: Employment at 8:30 a.m. and factory orders at 10 a.m.
I also keep an eye on the Baltic Dry Index, updated daily, and the 5-year implied inflation rate based on U.S. Treasury yields, which presently stands at 1.16%.
