Economic reports from last week came back mostly negative: •Consumer Credit - lower than expectation •Small Business Optimism - lower than expectation •Consumer Sentiment - lower than expectation •Jobless Claims - higher than expectation This week, investors will look for guidance from economic reports like Manufacturing, Retail Sales, Housing and Jobless Claims.
