Please read yahoo economy data. You can say Sams making number. But, but, but,... the fake number look better.
My interpretation when reading above yahoo data
PPI gets lower. i.e. no inflation .
Retail Sales: up, better than forecast.
Manufacturing: up, better than forecast.
Initial Claims: lower than forecast. more people have jobs.
Housing Starts: at faster pace, more people buying house.
Don't forget this:
Deep spending cuts are set to kick in if a congressional panel can't agree by Thanksgiving on how to shrink the budget deficit. And Congress may let emergency unemployment aid and a Social Security tax cut expire at year's end. Either outcome could slow growth and spook markets.
Manufacturing: up, better than forecast. 这个好像是车销售的比重最大。Toyota又有Recall,对美车是利好。其他的好像一般。
Initial Claims: lower than forecast. more people have jobs. 这个有季节性因素,另外许多是短期雇佣,Radio里的分析已经不少。俺今天听到的Construction行当的失业率现在在30%。
Housing Starts: at faster pace, more people buying house.
QE和OT都是在救助银行。对房市的所谓利好消息俺基本上是根本不信。房市如有转机,银行的日子会好很多,看看金融板块的疲软,俺现在不敢碰了。对于房售增加,俺昨天看的地方报纸的数据是,房售增加,平均售价继续走低。别的地方是否如此俺不知道,管中窥豹吧。
there is a period of selling for year end tax purpose, so there may be no direction trading range with up and down days without big movement. After that there is a powerful up to the next year hopefully.
