Weighing
the Week Ahead – Jeff Miller
There is a normal dose
of economic data this week, but we are entering a quiet, pre-holiday period. As
the rally faltered a bit, the Dow 20K talk yielded to a discussion of what
could go wrong. I expect this discussion to continue in the coming week, and perhaps
the next one as well. The punditry will be asking: What can derail the rally?
Fed
raises rates, with caution * Bank of England goes for status quo with caution *
Netherlands government faces disgruntled workers
With
the holiday season around the corner, next week will be relatively quiet in
terms of data and events, offering more time to reflect on this week’s news
from the Fed. The most interesting event is the Riksbank’s policy decision.
Riksbank
set to extend QE and cut the repo rate * First week of January brings Fed and
ECB meeting minutes
Reflation
theme getting further support from data * We look for further upside in
equity
markets and bond yields in 2017 * More USD strength short term but reversal in
2017 * Keep an eye on China – financial tensions are increasing.
US:
Did the Fed do the right thing? * Canada: A new, entirely unforecastable batch
of inflation readings * Asia: BoJ hoping this time it works * LatAm:
Argentina’s quadruple dip * Europe: Is Riskbank policy success durable?
Making
credit great again still may have to wait
Confidence
indicators showing impressive strength * Strength coming through across many
economies * Hard data lagging behind, but expected to pick up * Fed raises
rates and expect three more hikes in 2017; they could be right

Comment – Marc Chandler
Twas the Week Before Christmas, Amidst Powerful Trends
An
increasingly coy ECB is turning every more dovish while the Federal Reserve is
busy sharpening its hawkish claws. This points towards further policy
divergence and additional dollar strength.
