Full slate of economic data coming up as North America nears the holiday

It’s a strange week in the market in that the highlight comes on Friday, which is of course Good Friday and a holiday in stocks, bonds and futures markets.

However we get some potentially market moving economic data today as well, starting at the bottom of the hour with:

• Initial jobless claims
• US final Q4 GDP
• Canadian January GDP

Then we skip ahead to 10 am ET with the release of:

• US pending home sales
• UMich consumer sentiment

It should wind down quickly from there and the bond market closes today at 2 pm ET.
