MONDAY:   Other than earnings, this is a quiet week for scheduled events. Markets look like they will open to the negative, but not with too much conviction

TUESDAY:   A small loss yesterday and the market looks to erase that, even as some earnings in the important technology sector aren’t looking too good this morning

WEDNESDAY: A decent day yesterday and some decent earnings still from financials, but otherwise some of the outlooks are not as optimistic as we need to get buyers excited.

THURSDAY:  The market is in a position to break a 2 week losing streak and this morning could add a little to that margin as the monthly cycle comes to its end with lots of earnings to come still this week

FRIDAY:. Markets are poised to end the week higher, breaking a 2 week losing streak, even as earnings and guidances have been mixed.







MONDAY:   Earnings season begins this week, but not for real until Friday, when Retail Sales are also reported. Guidance may be more important than ever as 2016 comes to an end and we still wonder where the interest rate increases we have all been expecting this year are hiding

TUESDAY:   Yesterday was a surprisingly strong day, even as some of the gains were lost. Today appears to be getting off to a flat start as we await the end of the week’s earnings, Retail Sales and Janet Yellen

WEDNESDAY: With markets facing an unexpected large loss yesterday, once again following oil, this morning appears to be flat as we gear up for earnings and more.

THURSDAY:  It looks as if yesterday’s breather, despite some fairly strong opinion contained in last month’s FOMC meeting minutes about raising interest rates, won’t be holding up as this morning begins. I would have thought that the news in those minutes would have sent markets into a dive, but maybe there’s a delayed reaction this morning, instead.

FRIDAY:. Futures are getting off to a good start as JP Morgan shows that they were healthier than thought with good top line revenue







MONDAY:   The Employment Situation Report will loom large this week after 6 consecutive days of triple digit moves. Appropriately, markets are flat this morning as we await the start of trading

TUESDAY:   Yesterday’s mid-day recovery put an end to the streak of 6 consecutive triple digit moves. Today looks as if it may be getting off to a flat start in follow-up to yesterday’s small decline, as we await Friday’s Employment Situation Report

WEDNESDAY: The countdown is on and markets are again getting ready to start the day off quietly, as it has to begin the week.

THURSDAY:  Yesterday’s decent, but unwarranted rally, followed oil again. Things may return to interest rates tomorrow, but there’s no reason for markets to do anything but stay as flat as the futures were trading early this morning

FRIDAY:. Potentially big market mover this morning, as futures are just mildly cautious ahead of the news and after an overnight currency meltdown of the British Pound







MONDAY:   Lots of Federal reserve talking going on this week and a GDP release, which could offer the first really strong justification for the expected interest rate hike

TUESDAY:   Markets look to be calm to start the morning after two consecutive triple digit losses for the first time in 3 months

WEDNESDAY: Big down day to start the week and a big up day to follow. That made it 3 big days in a row. Today may be the breather, but we still have GDP on Friday to possibly shake things up again

THURSDAY:  Busy, busy day today. No less than 6 Federal reserve speakers today, including Janet Yellen and the GDP, following the fourth consecutive triple digit move. This morning, though, is completely flat, as oil ruled yesterday after not doing so the previous day

FRIDAY:. Lots of ups and downs this week as oil has suddenly taken center stage again as talk about interest rates seems to have waned.







MONDAY:   Big week ahead, with futures pointing toward a higher open, despite some considerable risk of the FOMC moving ahead with a rise in interest rates.

TUESDAY:   Markets squandered a big gain yesterday, but there was no reason for that gain in the first place. The FOMC meeting starts today and expectations are for no rate hike, but watch for the wording in the statement.

WEDNESDAY: The Bank of Japan’s overnight policy re-direction may now pave the way for US markets to go higher, as futures are guardedly higher ahead of today’s FOMC Statement release.

THURSDAY:  Following yesterday’s boosts from the Bank of Japan and the FOMC, there may still be some rally left, as traders believe that are 3 more months ahead of cheap money to play with.

FRIDAY:. Markets may need to take a rest today and certainly couldn’t be blamed if they did.
