| 08:37 EDT | | | Futures remain quiet ahead of market open
Stock futures continue to trade quietly ahead of the opening of the broader market. Investors will be anxiously awaiting the release of the minutes from last month’s FOMC meeting, and they will be looking for clues about any changes in fiscal policy. Chicago Fed Governor Charles Evans may have hinted at some changes in Fed policy earlier in the week when he said the central bank was discussing how and when to possibly end its latest round of quantitative easing. His statements have put investors on watch for any possible change in monetary strategy at the Fed. |

| 07:40 EDT | | | U.S. MBA mortgage market index sank 9.8%
U.S. MBA mortgage market index sank 9.8% in data released earlier, in addition to a 3.0% decline in the purchase index and an 11.7% plunge in the refinance index for the week ended May-17. The 11-basis point jump in the 30-year fixed mortgage rate to 2-month highs of 3.78% clearly had a major impact on refi activity, spilling over to the market index more broadly, while mortgages for home purchases also declined. The MBA noted that this was the largest single drop by the refi index of the year. Last week's economic data had continued its downtrend for the bulk of the week until Friday's consumer sentiment and leading indicators surprised on the upside, while the bond market had started to buy into the Fed tapering view via rumors, the hawks and the press just ahead of today's FOMC minutes and Bernanke JEC testimony.
