The week’s key economic updates kick off tomorrow with the Labor Department's Job Openings and Labor Market Turnover Survey (JOLTS), which is anticipated to provide new insights into labor market dynamics.

In its previous report, JOLTS indicated a 4.3% increase in job openings, bringing the total to 8.04 million. However, hiring, layoffs, and resignations all saw a decline, aligning with the Federal Reserve's decision to implement a 50 basis point interest rate cut.

For the upcoming September report, analysts predict job openings will decrease by 0.6%, reaching 7.99 million.

Additionally, the Conference Board will release its October Consumer Confidence report. Of particular interest will be the job confidence component, as it could offer a complementary perspective to JOLTS findings.

The day will also see the release of the Case-Shiller report, the first of several upcoming housing market indicators. According to economists surveyed by Reuters, the 20-city composite index for August is expected to show a moderation in home price growth, down to 5.0% year-over-year from the previous 5.9%.
