Later, Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan is due to speak at 7:55 pm ET.

Tuesday's schedule includes the New York Fed's services reading for October, weekly Redbook same-store sales, factory orders data for August, and home builders' sentiment for November.

Wednesday's highlights will be weekly mortgage applications and oil stocks data inventory, trade data for August and minutes of the Oct. 28-29 Federal Open Market Committee.

In addition to the September employment report, the Philadelphia Fed's manufacturing reading for November, existing-home sales for October, leading indicators data for October, weekly natural gas stocks inventories, and the Kansas City Fed's manufacturing reading for November are all due to be released on November.
