ISM Manufacturing and Construction Spending will be released on Monday; Factory Orders and the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) will be released on Tuesday; ADP’s private payroll report, the US Trade Balance, and ISM Non-Manufacturing will be released on Wednesday; and Wholesale Inventories and Consumer Credit will be released on Friday.
