Week Ahead – Clash of Greed vs. Fear

In the week ahead, expect to see a clash of factors affecting stocks. After a difficult data period last week, we will get a fresh look at the relatively strong service sector of the American economy. That should revive concern about the Federal Reserve’s rate plans for October, as should the release of the September FOMC meeting minutes. Finally, a volatile earnings season kicks off with the report of a prominent basic materials player that is dealing with a blow to commodity prices. Greed is back with the turn of the fiscal year for many institutional fund managers, but fear has not gone either, so expect a clash. See our week ahead report.
