  • Why Stocks Rallied Last Week
  • Weekly Market Preview:  Can the Rally Continue?
  • Weekly Economic Cheat Sheet:  More Important Growth Data This Week

Futures are slightly higher mostly on momentum from last week’s rally and following a quiet weekend of news.

In China, the economic reopening continued as Shanghai reported no new COVID cases for the first time in two months while Beijing allowed most schools to reopen on Monday.

Geo-politically, Russia defaulted on a debt payment, but this was widely expected so it’s not impacting markets.

Today focus will be on economic data via Durable Goods (E: 0.5%) and Pending Home Sales (E: -2.5%) and markets will want to see continued moderation in the data (so a slowing of activity, but not a steep drop that might imply a “hard” economic landing).
