The auto and truck sales will be interesting to note but investors will probably be listening for any pre-earnings announcements now that the quarter is over. Earnings start up again in two to three weeks. ============================================================== -For- Monday, 04/01/02 ---------------- Auto Sales (NA) Mar Forecast: 5.6M Previous: 5.6M Truck Sales (NA) Mar Forecast: 7.5M Previous: 7.6M ISM Index (DM) Mar Forecast: 54.3 Previous: 54.7 Construction Spending(DM)Feb Forecast: 0.8% Previous: 1.5% Tuesday, 04/02/02 ----------------- Factory Orders (DM) Feb Forecast: 0.5% Previous: 1.2% Wednesday, 04/03/02 ------------------- ISM Services (DM) Mar Forecast: 57.0 Previous: 58.7 Thursday, 04/04/02 ------------------ Initial Claims (BB) 03/30 Forecast: N/A Previous: 394K Friday, 04/05/02 ---------------- Nonfarm Payrolls (BB) Mar Forecast: 23K Previous: 66K Unemployment Rate (BB) Mar Forecast: 5.6% Previous: 5.5% Hourly Earnings (BB) Mar Forecast: 0.2% Previous: 0.1% Average Workweek (BB) Mar Forecast: 34.2 Previous: 34.1 Consumer Credit (AB) Feb Forecast: $8.5B Previous: $12.8B Definitions: DM= During the Market BB= Before the Bell AB= After the Bell
