Next Week Important Economic Data:
Next week there are high hopes in the market for good macroeconomic data and great quarterly results. My calculations on some collateral data says that next week economic data will surprise to the downside. The Friday GDP is expected at +3,1%, based on my preliminary data of Trade Balance, Business Inventories, Retail Sales, Industrial&Manufacturing Production and other data I think the GDP will come lower at around 2 to 2,5%. Also the Thursday durable goods number I think they will come lower than the estimate. Estimates are for +1,0 and my calculation shows a +0,2% gain. We will see. It is possible on Wednesday at the FOMC meeting to hear the first thoughts regarding raising interest rates in USA. I think chairman Ben Bernanke will clarify this at the press conference which follows the announcement.
In Romania next week, i assume the media will continually reflect the protests from Universitatii Square. So far these protests haven't had any impact on the Bucharest Stock Exchange or on the RON currency. The Institute of Statistics will publish on Friday the Building Permits for the month of December.
Have a great week everybody.

RăspundețiȘtergereThank you. I think right now the markets are awaiting the results of the Greek debt talk. We'll see in a couple of days what will the outcome be.
