Financial Roadmap: The Week Ahead May 4 to 8, 2009
It's employment week starting Monday with the Help Wanted Online Data Series from the Conference Board and ending Friday with the big kahuna of labor market numbers, the Employment Situation Report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Only Tuesday won't bring at least one labor market statistic. Along the way, we'll get sideshows from the Institute for Supply Management's Nonmanufacturing Report on Business (Tuesday) and the Pending Home Sales Index (Monday) from the National Association of Realtors.
Aside from hard economic stats, the week is full of potential ups and downs coming from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department. Ben Bernanke is slated to testify before Congress on Tuesday and speak to a Chicago Fed conference on Thursday, while Fed branch Presidents are scheduled to speak throughout the week. From Treasury, in addition to the usual T-bill auctions, there will be auctions of 52-week T-bills and 3-year and 10-year Treasury notes plus the semiannual auction of 30-year Treasury bonds.
