Monday’s post-holiday economic calendar is even lighter than usual. Only three minor U.S. releases are scheduled — Pending Home Sales, the Dallas Fed regional manufacturing index, and the EIA fuel report — meaning any volatility is likely to be concentrated in the dollar or energy commodities. Overall, markets are expected to remain cautious, reflecting tension ahead of tomorrow’s release of the FOMC minutes.
