What to Look for This Week

News on home sales and appreciation highlight an otherwise quiet economic calendar. On Monday look for Pending Home Sales for January while Tuesday brings home price appreciation data for December from the Case-Shiller Home Price Index and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) House Price Index. Also of note, we’ll get a read on the manufacturing sector when the ISM Index for February is reported on Wednesday. The latest Jobless Claims will be released Thursday as usual.
