The Associated Press
December 20, 2024

A look at some of the key business events and economic indicators upcoming next week.

Johnson Redbook Service Index, weekly annual percentage change:

Nov. 8: 4.8

Housing barometer

The Commerce Department delivers its latest monthly snapshot of U.S. sales of newly constructed homes on Tuesday.

Economists project that sales increased in November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 680,000 homes. In October, sales of newly built homes slumped to 610,000 amid continued pressure from inflation on consumers and potential home buyers, along with high borrowing costs.

New home sales, seasonally adjusted annual rate, by month:

June 672,000

July 707,000

Aug. 690,000

Sept. 738,000

Oct. 610,000

Nov. (est.) 680,000

Tracking unemployment

The Labor Department issues its weekly tally of new unemployment benefit claims on Thursday.

U.S. applications for unemployment benefits slipped two weeks ago. They fell to 220,000. Weekly applications for jobless benefits are considered a proxy for layoffs. Applications for unemployment benefits still remain low relative to historical standards.

Initial jobless benefit claims, weekly, seasonally adjusted:

Nov. 8: 219,000

Nov. 15: 215,000

Nov. 22: 215,000

Nov. 29: 225,000
