 Week's Highlight

      Friday 6: The November employment report is expected to confirm the
positive trends seen in the past few months.
      Monday 2
      -- The ISM manufacturing index for November will likely come down a tad
from the previous month's 56.4, says David Berson, chief economist of Nationwide
Financial.
      -- It's Cyber Monday, a big day for e-commerce shopping. Last year, sales
totaled $1.46 billion.
      -- Innovation Index, comparing U.S. and Israel's science and hi-tech
collaboration with 15 other countries, launches.
      Tuesday 3
      -- Light-vehicle sales should improve to a 15.4 million annual pace for
November, says Berson.
      -- Fibria Celulose hosts analysts in New York on trends in the pulp
industry.
      -- Hologic, Oneok, and Rio Tinto present to investors.
      Wednesday 4
      -- New-home sales for both September and October are issued, due to the
government shutdown. Berson sees October sales falling to a 405,000 annual pace
on higher mortgage rates. Also due out: the ISM services index for November and
ADP payroll survey.
      -- The Fed issues its "beige book" survey of regional economic conditions.
      -- New York Society of Security Analysts' conference on water utilities.
      -- Yum! Brands, Xcel Energy, and Axa conduct analyst and investor
meetings, as does Marathon Petroleum.
      -- The House Ways and Means Committee takes up the Affordable Care Act.
      -- Former ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet gives a speech in Frankfurt:
Is the euro at risk?
      -- OPEC meets amid reports that some are pushing it to trim output next
year.
      Thursday 5
      -- Weekly jobless claims are reported.
      -- Challenger, Gray & Christmas issues job-cut announcements for October.
      -- ECB Governing Council and the Bank of England deliver their decisions
on interest rates. No change in policy is expected at either bank.
      -- Berson expects "fairly significant" upward revisions to 3% to 3.5% from
2.8% to the second estimate for third-quarter GDP growth, on stronger inventory
accumulation. He sees October factory orders falling 0.8%.
      -- The SEC holds a roundtable on proxy-advisory services.
      -- Skechers, Hospira, Cyberonics, Parametric Technology meet investors.
      -- Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher gives an economic update.
      Friday 6
      -- Look for nonfarm payrolls to rise by 205,000 in November, with possible
upward revisions in the previous two months, says Berson. He sees the jobless
rate notching down to 7.2%. If he's correct, it will increase the likelihood of
the Fed trimming its asset purchases sooner rather than later.
      -- Berson sees personal income and spending for October rising 0.4%.
      -- ITW, Sonoco, Woodward, and GTS meet with analysts and investors
