The Week Ahead...

This coming week has a variety of indicators. The biggest market mover may be Fed minutes on Wednesday which might provide more detail on when the Fed starts to raise policy rates next year and its plans for lowering its balance sheet. Quantitative easing is over and rate change and unwinding are the next key Fed issues. Both housing and manufacturing have been oscillating in recent months. Important updates are posted for housing starts, existing home sales, and industrial production.
