Financial Roadmap for April 2 to 6, 2007
The biggest volume of news this week comes from the labor market with two indexes of online help wanted ads, the Challenger report on layoffs, the Employment Situation Report from the Labor Department and the private counterpart employment report from ADP. The housing market is still worth watching closely and the February Pending Home Sales Index out Tuesday is a leading indicator of existing home sales for March and April.
