The favorable tone of this morning’s economic releases this morning will likely do nothing more than give us a positive start at the open, as the market’s primary preoccupation will remain the ‘Fiscal Cliff’ situation. And on that front, both sides are locked in tactical maneuvers that stop us from getting a quick fix. The expectation in the market all along has been that a deal will come through, but increasingly appears that it will literally be a last-minute deal.
On the data front, the weekly Jobless Claims numbers came in as expected while the last read on the third quarter GDP showed a bigger-than-expected positive revision. Jobless Claims reversed the prior week’s strong gains, increasing 17K to 361K. The four-week average, which smooths out the week-to-week volatility, dropped by 13.8K to 367.8K.
The claims data has now shaken off the Sandy effects and are now at pre-storm levels, though it does tend to be relatively erratic at this time of the year. The final GDP revision is typically not much of a market mover and this morning’s bigger than expected positive revision (to 3.1% from 2.7%) will likely be no different.
As welcome as this positive revision is, it is nothing more than setting the record straight. Growth expectations for the current quarter, which have steadily been coming down in recent weeks, are not expected to change because of today’s report.
In corporate news, we got an earnings miss from Discover Financial (DFS) this morning, while ConAgra (CAG) and KB Homes (KBH) came ahead of expectations. In other news, NYSE Euronext (NYX), the owner of New York Stock Exchange is getting sold to the IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) for $8.2 billion, after having rejected ICE bids in the past.
