Highlights include the June readings of the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller home price series, which showed home prices, supported by low inventories, defying rising mortgage rates, and labor market data, which, while improving toward a better balance, still indicating Federal Reserve monetary policy remaining tight for longer.
