Stocks: Investors prep for quarter end

The ISM manufacturing survey will be closely watched as it's often considered the second most important piece of economic data investors get on a monthly basis, second only to the Labor Department's monthly jobs report.

"ISM is a really good measure of the heartbeat of the manufacturing sector, and will give us a good indicator whether the recent de-acceleration in the economy is going to continue," said Burt White, chief investment officer with LPL Financial.

Investors also face the end of the second quarter, which could have an influence on trading as portfolio managers re-adjust their holdings ahead of the quarter end.

It has been a difficult three months for Wall Street. The Dow has fallen 3% since March 3, while the broader market S&P 500 index is down 4.3%.

Investors are also turning their attentions back to corporate earnings, as the quarter ends, said White. So far, quarterly results from Corporate America have been mixed, with companies such as FedEx posting strong results, but other influential companies like Oracle disappointing.

"Analysts still have high expectations for this quarter for Corporate America, despite the negative economic data the past several weeks," said White.

The Dow and the S&P 500 closed lower last week , marking the seventh week out of eight that those indexes have tracked lower. Stocks fell on Friday mostly because of the disappointing results out of Oracle and Micron Technology.

Greece is also expected to remain in the forefront of investors' minds, particularly after news late last week after the country came to an agreement with the European Union and International Monetary Fund, market observers said.

"There remains a lot of worry about Greece and any developments could change the market's direction quickly," said Rob Lutts, chief investment officer of Cabot Money Management.

Tuesday -- Investors will get the S&P Case-Shiller home price index for April at 9 a.m. ET on Tuesday, which is considered one of the official gauges on the housing market. The index is forecasted to fall 3.9% versus the 3.6% it dropped in March, according to Briefing.com.

The Conference Board's consumer confidence survey is also out Tuesday at 10 a.m. ET. Economists are looking for consumer confidence to edge lower to a reading of 60.3 compared with the reading of 60.8 reported for May.
