This Week’s Forecast

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams

WILL THE RALLY GET BOOSTED OR FLATTENED?...

There will be lots of opportunity to kick things up a notch or quiet everything down, starting with Monday morning's ISM Index. This is the mega reading on the manufacturing sector. Friday we get four key readings: Nonfarm Payrolls, Unemployment Rate, Hourly Earnings, and Average Work Week. This will provide plenty of build-up to the Fed's December 11 meeting, along with a few earnings reports from Q3 stragglers.

Weaker than expected economic data tends to send bond prices up and interest rates down, while positive data points to lower bond prices and rising loan rates.
