This week's lineup of economic data is relatively light ahead of the next Federal Reserve meeting, which runs from July 28 to July 29. Thursday's reading on initial jobless claims will be in focus after the most recent report showed they fell to their lowest level since mid-May.
And Wells Fargo economists are watching new home sales for June, scheduled for release Friday morning, which they expect to underscore a sluggish housing market as mortgage rates remain elevated.
