Here comes consumer confidence ...
The University of Michigan will release its preliminary survey of consumers for April at 10 a.m. ET.
Economists forecast that the consumer sentiment index improved to 92 from a final March reading of 91, according to Bloomberg.
The prior release said that consumers were not worried about their personal finances even though they expected higher unemployment and gas prices.
"Gas prices have fallen in the first days of April, and the stock market has been fairly stable, both of which likely make consumers feel better off financially," Bank of America Merrill Lynch economists wrote in a preview Friday.
