On Tap For This Week

This week's focus is on housing and manufacturing. Last week's housing starts report notably disappointed and existing and new home sales will garner attention. Also, home price appreciation has softened and the FHFA home price report will add detail on strength in housing demand. Recent manufacturing data have been mixed with August industrial production soft but Empire State and Philly Fed for September somewhat positive. This week's durables report may add clarity regarding momentum at the national level.
