Coming up: CPI, housing starts, jobless claims
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The U.S. government will release reports on consumer inflation, new-home construction and weekly jobless claims at 8:30 a.m. Eastern. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch expect the consumer price index to increase by 0.1% in December. The core rate, which excludes food and energy, likely rose by 0.2%. The Commerce Department, meanwhile, is expected to report that new-home construction climbed to an annual rate of 695,000 units in December from 685,000 in November. Weekly jobless claims, meanwhile, probably fell to 375,000 from an initially reported 399,000 in the prior week, according to the MarketWatch forecast.
