[BRIEFING.COM] Stocks remain firmly lower following a notable intraday surge in oil prices this afternoon.
The bump in oil prices will keep investors on the lookout for any geopolitical developments this week, which is relatively devoid of other catalysts on the calendar. Tomorrow will be the market's busiest morning on the economic data front, with investors receiving July Housing Starts (Briefing.com consensus 1.360 million) and Building Permits (Briefing.com consensus 1.390 million) among other reports.
