Weighing the Week Ahead Jeff Miller


It is a big week for economic data and the first address to Congress from the new President. Most of the punditry is engaged in a collective head-shake about overbought conditions. Even if the data flow remains strong, pundits will be asking: Have stock prices lost touch with reality? 

EcoWeekBNP Paribas
The Fed knows it knows nothing FOMC members underscore the uncertainty looming over fiscal policy. When in doubt, abstain * The quality of Germany’s infrastructure is deteriorating because of lack of spending. In particular, the municipalities have reduced their investments * Another try The Eurogroup meeting held earlier this week failed to reach a political agreement on Greece. A solution will eventually be found as each party makes concessions, although the size of these efforts has yet to be determined.

Week AheadNordea
US President Trump’s address to the Congress will take centre stage next week. How concrete he chooses to be about his plans, we don’t know. Get ready to be surprised. There is also heavy data supply from the Nordic countries.

FX4 Next Week: Keeping an open mind on Trump’s speechTF
US treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin's comments have dampened expectations for the US president's speech to Congress on Tuesday, but we prefer to keep an open mind going into that event.

Weekly Market Summary Fat Pitch
All of the US equity indices made new all-time highs again this week. Treasuries were the biggest winner. A drawdown of at least 5-8% in SPX is odds-on before year year end, but there are a number of compelling studies suggesting that 2017 will probably continue to be a good year for US equities.

Aurelija Augulyte’s Weekly FX: Catch 22Nordea
The dollar is struggling despite recently good data and comments. Can Trump safe the rally? Or will it kill itself... China, euro area not immune to a slowdown, but US pays the first bill (in USD).

Bonds: Lifting uncertainty to lift ratesNordea
While improving economic data have not been able to lift rates further in the US, clarity about Trump’s fiscal plans may just do the trick. More certainty about a fiscal boost would also free the market to price in more Fed tightening.
