Good MorningInvestors were dealt another ace on Friday when the Personal Income and Spending data was released. The Dow, S&P 500, and NASDAQ Composite all closed higher ending the 2nd best month of gains since the market hit bottom.
Personal Income was expected to fall about a half percent in August but surprised the market with a gain of the same size. The rise in incomes fueled spending to the tune of 1.9% which was also well above the consensus. The bottom line here, the U.S. economy is heating back up in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Even with all the good data in August the market is still not out of the woods. The labor market is still hurting after the pandemic with over 1 million new jobless claims released each week. Next week’s hurdle will be the monthly employment data which includes the ADP report on Wednesday and then the Non-farm payrolls report on Friday.
