Pending home sales for December are out at 10 a.m. ET.

Economists polled by Bloomberg are looking for pending home sales to fall 0.3% month-over-month and 0.3% year-over-year.

This compares with a 0.2% MoM rise, and a 4% YoY fall in November.

The Commerce Department expects that 80% of signings will become existing home sales transactions within two months.
