Economic Preview: Key Data Releases (week of 13Apr2026)

Existing Home Sales

Existing home sales for March are projected to reach 4.05 million units. This figure serves as a reliable indicator of the overall health of the American real estate market, reflecting both buyer demand and market activity.

Home Builder Confidence

The home builder confidence index is expected to decrease to 37, down from 38 in the previous month. This index is an important gauge for the residential and real estate industry, providing insight into the sentiment of builders regarding current and future market conditions.

Producer Price Index (PPI)

One of the most closely watched macroeconomic reports in the upcoming week is the core Producer Price Index (PPI) for March. The PPI measures inflation affecting producers, which can eventually cascade to consumers as costs are passed along the supply chain. Analysts interpret this data as an early indicator of inbound inflation that may soon impact the broader market.

Initial Jobless Claims

Initial jobless claims, due on April 11, are forecasted at 215,000. This represents a decrease from the previous figure of 219,000 claims. The Federal Reserve considers this data when assessing labour market conditions and making decisions about future interest rates.
