Week Ahead Stock Market Catalysts

The week ahead is a curious one, including a few critical data catalysts that could influence markets from a macro perspective. Consumer spending data at the start of the week could take stocks to new 52-week highs. But the longevity of those gains will likely depend on the result of China’s manufacturing PMI data on Wednesday. Crude oil inventory data will continue to play importantly, and of course, the monthly jobs data due on Friday will be influential. Through it all, I expect we are likely to mark a new high for stocks, but beware as the dollar’s shadow is starting to cast darkness over the land of commodities and multinationals.
