Consumer spending on everything from homes to high-priced items will be on the agenda this week.
Be on the lookout for new housing sales, durable goods orders, manufacturing output and consumer sentiment for May.
Investors wondering how consumers are doing in the wake of record-high inflation, rising interest rates and soaring gas prices will get more clarity this week with a slate of key economic data scheduled for release.
First up is the S&P Global Manufacturing, Composite and Services PMI Flash reports for May, which give investors insight into manufacturing activity and productivity. Activity in April increased, but at a slower pace. More of the same is expected for May.
Durable goods orders for April, which are also on the agenda this week, will provide more insight into whether consumers and businesses are reigning in spending on big ticket items, which would negatively impact the economy.
New home sales for April are scheduled for release, as well as the University of Michigans consumer sentiment survey for May. Existing and new jobless claims round out the economic data for the week.
