BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 07:40 AM EDT

07:40 AM EDT, 04/13/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The US dollar rose against its major trading partners early Monday ahead of the release of existing home sales data for March at 10:00 am ET and an appearance by Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran at 6:20 pm ET.

Tuesday's highlights include data on small business sentiment and producer prices.

Import and export price data, the first look at manufacturing data for April, and the Federal Reserve's Beige Book are the key releases on Wednesday.

Weekly jobless claims, the first services data for April, and industrial production data for March are the main points on Thursday.

Friday's schedule is light, with only the St. Louis Fed's GDP nowcast estimate for Q1.

The International Monetary Fund is holding its annual meetings this week, so comments by Fed officials and representatives of other central banks will be frequent.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
