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
