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.
