The Institute for Supply Management is scheduled to release its report on activity in the manufacturing sector in the month of August at 10 am ET.
The ISM’s manufacturing index is expected to tick up to 47.5 in August after falling to 46.8 in July, but a reading below 50 would still indicate contraction.
Also at 10 am ET, the Commerce Department is due to release its report on construction spending in the month of July. Construction spending is expected to come in unchanged in July after dipping by 0.3 percent in June.
