What’s in Today’s Report:
Futures are modestly lower following disappointing Chinese economic data.
Chinese economic data joined recent U.S. data in hinting at a possible plateauing recovery and building inflation pressures. Industrial Production rose 9.8% vs. (E) 10.0% while Retail Sales gained 17.7% vs. (E) 25%. Housing Prices, meanwhile, rose 0.48% vs. (E) 0.41%.
Today the Empire Manufacturing Survey (E: 25) is the key report and markets will want to see solid data and stable prices indices. We also get the Housing Market Index (E: 83) but that shouldn’t move markets.
From a Fed standpoint, Clarida (10:05 am ET) is the headliner today while Bostic (10:00 a.m. ET) will also provide comments.
What’s in Today’s Report:
Futures are modestly higher as markets digest yesterday’s dovish Fed rhetoric while data overnight was solid.
German Manufacturers’ Orders and Euro Zone Retail Sales both beat estimates, again implying the economic recovery in Europe is gaining momentum (this is positive for European stocks).
Fed officials repeated their dovish stance yesterday with Vice Chair Clarida reinforcing it’s not time to think about tapering despite rising inflation and strong growth.
Today focus will be on weekly Jobless Claims (E: 533K) and again markets will want to see them hold the gains of the past few weeks. We also get numerous Fed speakers including (in order of importance): Williams (9:00 a.m. ET), Mester (1:00 p.m. ET), Bostic (1:00 p.m. ET) and Kaplan (10:00 a.m. ET) but we don’t expect any of them to materially move markets.
