Two other major studies will punctuate the week: The Institute of Supply Management manufacturing survey on Tuesday at 10 a.m. and international trade on Friday at 8:30m a.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 average hourly workweek in manufacturing from the employment situation report at 8:30 a.m. Friday.
Manufacturers' new orders for consumer goods and materials from the factory orders report at 10 a.m. Thursday.
Vendor performance, or the deliveries times index, from the ISM manufacturing survey at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
The S&P 500 index, reported continually during market hours.
Average weekly initial claims for unemployment from the jobless claims report at 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
Manufacturers' new orders for non-defense capital goods from the factory orders report at 10 a.m. Thursday.
Events arranged by day:
