Earlier in the week three major reports will compete with earnings announcements as objects of praise or blame for the course of trading. They are international trade in goods on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. and new home sales the same day at 10:30 a.m., and durable goods orders on Thursday at 8:30 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 M2 money supply, at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
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.
The index of consumer expectations from the University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey on Friday at 10 a.m.

Events arranged by day:
Monday: The Purchasing Managers Institute manufacturing index flash report at 9:45 a.m.
Tuesday: The S&P Corelogic Case-Shiller home price index of 20 metropolitan areas at 10 a.m. and consumer confidence at 10 a.m.
Wednesday: International trade in goods at 10 a.m. and petroleum inventories at 10:30 a.m.
Thursday: Jobless claims and durable goods orders, each at 8:30 a.m., pending home sales at 10 a.m. .and the M2 money supply at 4:30 p.m.
Friday: GDP at 8:30 a.m. and consumer sentiment 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 1.61%, up two basis points from a week earlier.
