What’s driving markets
There’s a $63 billion auction of two-year notes and a $64 billion auction of 5-year notes scheduled for Monday.
New-home sales data is due for release, the first indicator of the week which will see the PCE price index on Thursday and the ISM manufacturing index on Friday.
Strategists at BNP Paribas say there’s a bigger risk the PCE price index will come in at 0.5% than 0.3%, due to the stronger-than-expected PPI data earlier in the month.
