A little light, data wise, but enough to go on.
Jobless Claims are back above 400K for this week. Hopefully a blip on the radar.
Housing remains respectable in spite of all the obstacles. Demand remains high while interest remains low. Starts up a bit and Permits down. Material costs and labor shortage continue to plague.
Leading Indicators retreated a bit but remain positive. This metric is influenced by Housing Starts.
Redbook gained a point, remaining in new territory. Guess I'll stop sayng that, but historical normal range is low to mid single digits.
Mfg remans in solid territory.
A C+ for the week in spite of elevated Jobless Claims and the limited number of metrics.
thanks much Tim!
