Financial Roadmap: The Week Ahead December 29, 2008 to January 2, 2009
This week will give investors another breather of sorts with overflow from last week's holidays starting off the week when the Fed reports on money supply Monday. This statistic had become so boring, and so little consulted, a few years ago that the Fed moved to a leaner version. The theory at the time was that what was important to watch for monetary policy was the federal funds rate. Now the Fed has slashed that rate about as low as possible and is directly inflating the money supply as a major policy tool. The numbers are getting very interesting and they are pointing in a very familiar direction – another bubble is in the works.
Tuesday, the Conference Board will report on Consumer Confidence. With real disposable personal income up 1% last month, we should start to see at least stabilization if not a rebound.
Most of the weekly indicators will hit on Wednesday, because of the holiday and the week will wrap out without much else in the way of economic news.
Thursday will bring the Yearly Financial Roadmap right here.
