Weighing the Week
Ahead –
Jeff Miller
We
have a light week for data, but plenty of other big news. Earnings season
continues. There will be plenty of FedSpeak, and most importantly the results
of the U.S. elections. I everyone to be asking: Will the election results
provide clarity for financial markets?
Next Tuesday, Americans vote to decide who
will be their next President. Today was published the last economic data before
Election Day, the one that everybody understands: the unemployment rate, that
edged down to below 5%. * The slowdown of the US economy is confirmed, with
mixed prospects. The opportunity for the Fed to hike rates is questioned. At
this week meeting, the Fed indeed chose not to pre-commit to a December rate
hike, as it did in 2015…
Next
Wednesday the uncertainty about who becomes the 45th US president will be over.
The winner will probably be declared around 5.00 CET. Next week’s data include
Chinese trade and inflation. From the Nordics, we expect a higher inflation
print for Denmark, but a slightly lower one for Norway.
US Election on
Tuesday - it’s not over until the fat lady sings. Recent developments in both
national and state polls show that one should not rule out a Trump victory.
Also, several Fed speakers and US preliminary consumer confidence. EZ Sentix sentiment, retail sales, German factory
orders should confirm moderate rebound towards the end of 2016.

equity markets would fall 3-5% on a Trump win but we would see this as a buying
opportunity.
