• Investors will be studying the housing market and what impact is being made by higher rates.
• Inflation’s impact on manufacturing will also be in focus with the S&P Global Manufacturing, Composite, and Services PMI Flashes for June due.

Mortgage rates are rising and inflation is soaring, which is having a broad impact on the housing market and manufacturing. Both sectors will be in focus this week as a series of data points connected to housing and productivity are due. On the housing front, the National Association of Realtors will publish May's existing home sales. With mortgage rates rising, these sales have been declining.

Also on tap is the Mortgage Bankers Association’s weekly mortgage applications and new home sales for May. Combined, these will give investors a better idea of the extent to which would-be homebuyers are willing to absorb rising rates. On the productivity front, the S&P Global Manufacturing, Composite, and Services PMI Flashes for June are on tap this week. These readings track manufacturing and productivity and are key economic indicators. Manufacturers have taken a hit with record inflation and ongoing supply chain issues.
