Also on Wednesday, the Fed is expected to release its Beige Book of economic conditions, which is "likely to paint an even bleaker picture than the October report," as it captured a near seizure in credit markets "and the resulting knock-out punch to consumers and businesses," said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.
On Thursday will be weekly jobless claims. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is also expected to speak on housing at a Fed conference in Washington.
Also on tap, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England are expected on Thursday to make decisions on interest rates.
