Today U.S. has scheduled to release U.S. Durable/Core Durable Goods Orders data at 1230 GMT/1800 IST and thereafter U.S. Pending Home Sales data at 1400 GMT/1930 IST. Durable Goods orders are a leading indicator of production – rising purchase orders signal that manufacturers will increase activity as they work to fill the orders. While Pending Home Sales are a leading indicator of economic health because the sale of a home triggers a wide-reaching ripple effect. For example, renovations are done by the new owners, a mortgage is sold by the financing bank, and brokers are paid to execute the transaction.
