Today's market-moving economic data and earnings schedule

Mar 29, 2021 at 8:03 AM

There's plenty of economic data to digest as investors say goodbye to March and usher in a new month this week. 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 this week, 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.

The following companies are slated to release quarterly earnings report today, March 29:

Cal-Maine Foods Inc. (NASDAQ:CALM -- $40.51) produces, grades, packages, markets, and distributes shell eggs. Cal-Maine Foods will report its Q3 earnings of 2021 before the bell today.

Seer Inc. (NASDAQ:SEER -- $40.18) engages in developing and commercializing products for researchers to unlock biological information. Seer will report its Q4 earnings of 2020 after the close today.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, investors will pore over the Case-Shiller national home price index, and the consumer confidence index.

Please note that the U.S. stock markets will be closed for the full trading day on Friday, April 2, in observance of Good Friday. The week will close out on Thursday, April 1, at 4:00 p.m. ET and trading will resume again on Monday, April 5, at 9:30 a.m. ET.

All economic dates listed here are tentative and subject to change.
