Market Multiple Table: December Update

/in , /by

What’s in Today’s Report:

  • Market Multiple Update: December Update
  • A Surge in Unit Labor Costs Rekindle Inflation Worries

Equity futures are little changed this morning as investors digest the sizeable rally so far this week with concerns about the Chinese property market offsetting more progress by Congress towards raising the debt ceiling.

Kaisa Group, a large Chinese developer, had its shares halted overnight pending a corporate announcement after a debt deadline passed which has rekindled fears about China’s property market.

Today, there is just one economic report to watch: JOLTS (E 10.4M), but it is a lagging report from October so unlikely to move markets and there are no Fed officials scheduled to speak.

In the afternoon, there is a 10-Year Treasury Note auction (1:00 p.m. ET) that could move bonds and subsequently stocks, however, given the quiet calendar today, it would not be surprising to see the markets digest some of this week’s outsized gains now that the S&P 500 is back within reach of all-time highs.
