Good MorningThe equities market finished out the second down week of two with a volatile day on Friday. The major indices began the session in positive territory only to give up the gains and retake them later in the session. The trading action is indicative of indecision within the market and may lead to more selling in the coming week. Next week is going to be another hurdle for the equities market. The economic calendar is filled with potentially market-moving events including a meeting of the FOMC.
The FOMC is not expected to alter rates but may surprise the market with comments or outlook. The business inventory data may be a more important figure to watch. With S&P 500 companies reporting double-digit inventory declines across industries the data could show a larger than anticipated contraction. Contracting inventories is good for the economy and will drive activity over the coming quarters.
