Summary for Week ending Sep 28Calculated Risk
The economic data was mostly weak last week. Q2 GDP growth was revised down to 1.3% annualized (from an already anemic 1.7%), durable goods orders declined sharply (although mostly due to the volatile transportation sector), personal income barely increased in August, and the September Chicago PMI declined to the lowest level in 3 years. There were a few positives: Even though new home sales were slightly below expectations, sales are still up solidly from last year. House prices, according to Case-Shiller, are now up 1.2% year-over-year.

Next Week’s Tape: Get Ready for Another Middling Jobs ReportMarketBeat / WSJ
Next week's biggest economic event is the key monthly payrolls report; given it's one of only two jobs reports ahead of the November elections, it's likely to get even more scrutiny than usual.

Weekly FocusDanske Bank (pdf)
FOMC minutes and US labour market report take limelight. We do not expect any new measures from next week’s ECB meeting. We expect Spain  to ask for a precautionary programme at some point over the next couple of months. This programme is meant to be less stigmatising than a full-scale.

If the third quarter was about the reduction of tail-risk by official actions, then Q4 will be about the limitations of the policy response.  It will pose a challenging investment climate after what turned out to be a favorable performance in Q3.
