Highlights
The US consumer confidence report is the focus among economic reports as investors assess the health of consumer spending and implication for financial markets. The Econoday consensus sees the Conference Board's consumer confidence index rising to 90.0 in January from 89.1 in December. That would mirror an uptick in the University of Michigan gauge of consumer sentiment which rose by 7 percent to 56.4 in January from 52.9 in December. Despite the expected improvement, confidence remains very depressed relative to a year ago. The report is due at 10 am ET. Tuesday.
