Stock futures are trading lower and international markets were mixed overnight as investors look ahead to a very busy day of economic data while volumes are already thinning out given the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow.
Today, there is a slew of economic data due out including: Durable Goods Orders (E: 0.3%), Q3 GDP (E: 2.1%), Jobless Claims (E: 264K), New Home Sales (E: 790K), Core PCE (E: 0.4%, 4.1%), and Consumer Sentiment (E: 66.9).
There are no Fed officials speaking today however the November FOMC meeting minutes will be released at 2:30 p.m. ET.
Bottom line, investors will be looking for good economic data today, but not so good that it will cause the Fed to accelerate tapering plans or pull forward the first rate hikes. That is especially true for the Core PCE print as it is the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation.
