It should be a relatively quiet for US dataflow ahead of Thursday’s Thanksgiving holiday. Housing market indicators include November’s NAHB housing index (today), October’s housing starts (tomorrow) and existing home sales figures (Wednesday).
Wednesday will also bring preliminary durable goods orders data for October, along with the Conference Board’s Leading index for the same month and the revised University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment survey for November. Supply-wise, the US Treasury will sell 10-year TIPS on Wednesday, Daiwa Capital Markets reported.
