Tuesday preview: US housing data, consumer confidence in the spotlight

Investors' focus on Tuesday would be on the U.S. where a flurry of second-tier economic data was scheduled for release.

House price surveys from the FHFA and S&P covering the month of July were both due out at 1400 BST.

They would be followed an hour later by readings on new home sales in August and consumer confidence in September.

Also set for release at 1500 BST was the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's regional factory survey.

No major economic releases were expected in the UK, euro area or China.
