Financial traders will pay attention to a report on U.S. new home sales and an index of U.S. consumer confidence, both due out at 9 a.m. CST Tuesday. Any news about a possible limited trade agreement with China gets traders' attention as do the latest weather forecasts with U.S. corn still in the fields.
