NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Corporate earnings will share the stage with some key economic releases this week as investors continue to weigh whether recent stock market gains are justified.
Alongside reports from Dow giants such as Boeing (NYSE:BA - News) , Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG - News) and ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM - News) , investors will be closely scrutinizing the latest economic data including durable goods orders, new and existing home sales, consumer spending, consumer confidence and third-quarter GDP.

The earnings season has delivered so far, but stocks have stumbled amid concerns that the good news is already priced in.

In spite of sunny futures I sense jitters.
