Econo-Week in Preview
Gross Domestic Product growth for the third quarter will be reported Friday, with averaged herds of economists expecting annualized growth in the neighborhood of 3.6%.
The week will also bring us two measures of how US consumer's are feeling: Tuesday's Consumer Confidence report from the Conference Board, and Friday's survey on Consumer Sentiment, from the University of Michigan.
Stats for home sales, old and new, will be released on Tuesday (old) and Thursday (new), to give us a little clue as to how gaseous that housing bubble may still be, and Thursday's Durable Goods Orders report will give us another window on how the US manufacturing sector is faring.
