<p>At 9:00 AM Eastern time, the monthly S&amp;P/Case-Shiller home price index report will be released.  Given that most economists don&#8217;t expect the overall U.S. economy to improve until housing prices end their decline, the market will be watching this number closely.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At 7:45 AM EDT, the weekly ICSC-Goldman Store Sales report will be                                  released, giving an update on the health  of     the          consumer         through      this       analysis of    retail     sales.</p>
<p>At 8:55 AM EDT, the weekly Redbook report will be released, giving us     more information about consumer spending.</p>
<p>At 9:00 AM EDT, the monthly S&amp;P/Case-Shiller home price index          report will be released.  Given that most economists don&#8217;t expect   the        overall U.S. economy to improve until housing prices end   their    decline,     the market will be watching this number closely.</p>
<p>At 10:00 AM EDT, the monthly report on Consumer Confidence for April will be released.  The consensus index level is 65.0, which     would  be a 1.6 point increase from March&#8217;s number.</p>
<p>Also at 10:00 AM EDT, the State Street Investor Confidence Index will          be  released, which looks at changes in the amount of equities    held     in   the  portfolios of institutional investors.</p>
