Investors got plenty of positive news this week.

The Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.5%, scraping out a gain on Friday to close at a fresh record high. The S&P 500 rose 0.7%, and the Dow Jones stayed mostly flat.

On Monday, the CB Leading Index will be released.

Tuesday will feature the week’s marquee event: an update from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The Fed Chair wasn’t exactly a portrait of job security this week, as reports surfaced that President Donald Trump was considering firing Powell. We’ll see if the uncertainty shakes up his typically stoic remarks.

Wednesday will bring a housing market update with fresh data on existing home sales and the 30-year fixed mortgage rate. Thursday will be a busy day with reports on initial jobless claims, new home sales, and three different S&P Global PMIs: manufacturing, services, and composite.

On Friday, the week will conclude with an update on durable goods orders.
