We have a huge amount of economic data that will hit this week due to several reports hitting that were postponed due to the government shutdown.
We will have a good read on the consumer with Retail Sales, Consumer Confidence and Auto Sales. A good read on manufacturing with Chicago PMI and ISM Manufacturing. We will also get more data on the jobs front with ADP Private Payrolls and Initial Jobless Claims. On the Housing front we will get Pending Home Sales and the Case-Shiller Home Price Index. And on the inflationary front we get PPI and CPI.
So, as you can see we will get data on just about every sector of our economy this week. Of course, the focus will naturally be on Wednesday's Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC aka "the Fed") interest rate decision and policy statement. However, most traders and economists do not expect the FOMC to make any changes to their policies or their time tables.
This Week's Treasury Auctions:
10/28 2 year note

10/30 7 year note.
