Trading Radar: Can the Rally Stay on Track?
Economics, earnings reports, and market events for the week ahead.
Globally, China reports its manufacturing data amidst debate as to whether or not the country is in for a hard or soft landing. Recent easing actions by the Chinese Central Bank have muted the growth slowdown in the Chinese economy. In Europe, it will be important to keep an eye on the unemployment and manufacturing numbers as austerity measures begin to kick in.
In the US, jobs data comes out later in the week, along with consumer confidence numbers as well. This will help determine whether or not the US is beginning its move out of a recession and whether the market can continue to churn higher.
Important earnings reports include Exxon-Mobil (XOM), Amazon (AMZN), UPS (UPS), Dow Chemicals (DOW), and US Steel (X).
