The Institute for Supply Management is scheduled to release its report on manufacturing activity in the month of December at 10 am ET.
The ISM’s manufacturing PMI is expected to inch up to 47.1 in December from 46.7 in November, but a reading below 50 would still indicate a contraction.
Also at 10 am ET, the Labor Department is due to release its report on job openings in the month of November. Job openings are expected to rise to 8.85 million in November from 8.73 million in October. The Federal Reserve is scheduled to release the minutes of its December 12-13 monetary policy meeting at 2 pm ET.
