A third estimate of U.S. gross domestic product in the fourth quarter will also be released this week. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com expect that the U.S. economy expanded by 0.3% in the last three months of 2012.
This would be a change from two earlier estimates. Last month, the Commerce Department reported that GDP, the broadest measure of the nation's economic growth, grew at an annual rate of 0.1% in the fourth quarter, after initially reporting that the economy contracted 0.1% in the period.
Last week, the Dow Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq ended the week down a little less than 0.5%. All three indexes are up between 7% and 11% so far in 2013.
U.S. markets will be closed on Friday in observance of Good Friday.
