Today's market-moving economic data and earnings schedule

Mar 26, 2021 at 8:08 AM

An onslaught of economic data is due out today including reports on personal income, consumer spending, core inflation, trade in goods and the consumer sentiment index.

There are no companies slated to release quarterly earnings report today, March 26.

Looking ahead to next week, there's plenty of economic data to digest as investors say goodbye to March and usher in a new month. The week will start quietly, highlighted by the Case-Shiller national home price index. A deluge of data will follow, including more unemployment numbers, as well as the Markit manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI), and the ISM manufacturing index.

The earnings slate will be relatively clean, though Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA), Cal-Maine Foods (CALM), CarMax (KMX), Chewy (CHWY), lululemon athletica (LULU), and Micron (MU) all have quarterly reports due out.

While economic data will continue to roll in toward the end of the week, markets will be closed on Friday in observance of the Good Friday holiday. All economic dates listed here are tentative and subject to change.
