At 10 a.m. ET, the National Association of Realtors will release its monthly report on existing home sales.
Stocks finished higher Friday, continuing a rally in the aftermath of the end of U.S. government debt and budget crisis. The S&P 500 hit a record high. The Nasdaq posted a gain of more than 1% on Friday and was up more than 3% for the week. The Dow Jones industrial average was up more than 1% for the week, and has advanced for two consecutive weeks.
Peter Cardillo, chief economist at Rockwell Global Capital, said the rally "seems to have long legs," driven by decent earnings reports. But he added that "the market will be looking for an excuse" to pull back by 1% or 2%. That excuse, he said, might be the monthly jobs report, which was postponed for Tuesday from Oct. 4, as a result of the partial shutdown of the federal government.

Asian markets closed higher Monday. Shares in Hong Kong added 0.4% and the Shanghai Composite increased 1.6%. Japan's Nikkei gained 0.9% and the yen weakened as export data for September fell short of analyst expectations.
