Consumer Sentiment took a downward turn this last report. Certainly a red flag, but bears watching. We consumers can be a little fickle.
Small Business had a much brighter outlook.
Retail Sales took a nice turn, beating expectations, but Consumer Sentiment may impact that next month. Bars/Restaurants added nicely to the numbers, BTW.
RedBook tempered a bit, but remains in previously unseen territory.
Jobless Claims are establishing a range in the high normal. Nice news.
Job Openings remain in an unheard of 9 million + range. Somethings gotta give. I'm watching this closely.
PMI and ISM Svc's moderated a bit but still remain in the very high 60+ range.
Mfg Remains a bright spot. Industrial Production settled a bit but Capacity is still being stretched a bit further.
A solid C+ for the week(s), with a weather eye on Consumer Sentiment.
Thanks much Tim!
Lots of specific comments to tune us into what's important!
