Monday: ISM Mfg, Construction Spending
Weekend:
• Schedule for Week of June 30, 2019
Monday:
• At 10:00 AM: ISM Manufacturing Index for June. The consensus is for the ISM to be at 51.2, down from 52.1 in May.
• At 10:00 AM: Construction Spending for May. The consensus is for a 0.1% increase in construction spending.
From CNBC: Pre-Market Data and Bloomberg futures: S&P 500 are up 23 and DOW futures are up 206 (fair value).
