Economic Data Schedule for Mar 31- April 3

This week we had some very impressive numbers, particularly better then expected data coming in the Existing housing sales, new home sales, and durable goods orders. This in effect has given us the best week in the market since 1987. So, what will next week have in store for the markets and economy in general? I guess we have to wait and see. Below is a list of the data and time/date it will be released next week. I would pay particular attention to the Home Price Index, Pending Home sales (ie, the real estate market), Auto sales, and Unemployment rates. Most are expected to be pretty bad, so any mis-estimations the markets are making to the downside could play a role in keeping this rally going or not.
