The Consumer Price Index, a biggie inflation indicator, won't come into the mix until Friday. But we will have those closely monitored Retail Sales figures come Thursday morning. During the week, there will also be a number of retailers reporting earnings to further fill in the picture.
Also Thursday morning, we'll have the weekly Initial Jobless Claims number which is becoming a big focus for recession enthusiasts who continue to be frustrated by a reasonably solid jobs market.
The financial sector that stirred things up last week should be quiet, but stay alert for any surprise announcements.

Hey, Lee, it is great to see a Realtor get these numbers when so many so called LOs don't even get them.

Thanks for the heads up. I think inflation is going to be the next big battle we as REALTORS face. Nothing like a 10% rate to instigate buying;->
