Weekly economic indicators for the week OF January 17th thru 21st

BMO, CSFB, DB, Jeff, MS, WFC

Is it ME or are HOLIDAY-shortened weeks longer than regular weeks? That in mind and with the extra day to get prepared as ALL US EQUITY markets will be closed on Monday, January 17th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day., and oh, yeah, BOND markets, too) here are a few snapshots of what global Wall Street’s SELLSIDE is watching over the next couple weeks…

First up is calendar I used to cut / paste into my daily 2pg PDF, back in the day (can’t say way back when 30yy were 2.10% anymore)

Next up is this from CSFB (which can also be found on this weekends SELLSIDE OBSERVATIONS with somewhat more details and context),

And from a large German bank offering what THEY think … you need to know for the week ahead …

This particular note offers a reminder that while all Thursday’s Jobless Claims data is created equally, this weeks takes on somewhat MORE equal stature than others,

… With respect to the balance of this week's economic data, Thursday's jobless claims (220k vs. 230k) take on elevated significance as they correspond to the survey period for January employment. Indeed, last week's jump in initial claims may point to possible near-term labor market disruptions from omicron. That said, as we noted recently (see "December employment: Good enough for Fed to get going "), the December jobs report should provide Fed policymakers added confidence that the labor market has satisfied their maximum employment objective. As a few Fed officials indicated last week, while omicron may pose near-term risks to economic activity, they do not expect a lasting impact given continued progress on vaccinations.
