NEW YORK (AP) • Wall Street was headed for a sharply lower open Friday after Thursday's strong finish, as nervous investors anticipated gloomy readings on the sagging housing market and consumer sentiment.
The Commerce Department is expected to report at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time that new home construction dropped in September to an annual rate of 880,000 units, according to Wall Street economists surveyed by Thomson/IFR.
Later, at 10 a.m., the University of Michigan is anticipated to report that consumer sentiment is declining in the month of October.
Republicans...OUT!
