  Lots of Data If you are an economic data geek, the list of releases will delight you this week. Many of the big government-issued reports that were delayed due to the shutdown are finally coming out this week, including the jobs report.

On the economic calendar, the latest nonfarm payrolls data and unemployment rate will be released on Tuesday. The report will consolidate results from data collected for October and November because of the government shutdown. The delayed retail sales report for October is also due out on Tuesday. Turning to inflation, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be released on Thursday. Like the jobs report, CPI will include data from both October and November. Meanwhile, many Federal Reserve officials have speaking engagements on their schedule this week, and those events likely will get attention due to the division within the Fed on rate policy. The earnings calendar this week is light. Lennar reports on Tuesday; Micron, Jabil, and General Mills on Wednesday; and Nike, FedEx, Darden Restaurants, CarMax, and KB Home on Thursday. Earnings season for last quarter is done, and profits for S&P 500 companies were up a hefty 15% from the prior-year quarter. That follows 13% growth in 2Q EPS and 14% growth in 1Q EPS, according to LSEG I/B/E/S. For the quarter, Information Technology was the leading sector, up 31%, and Energy was at the bottom, down 2%. Turning to other data, the Chicago Fed Labor Market Indicator posted a final 4.44% forecast for the November unemployment rate. The Atlanta Fed GDPNow measure calls for 3.6% growth in the third quarter, a tick higher than last week's forecast. The Cleveland Fed Inflation Nowcast calls for a 3.0% rate for CPI in November and 2.9% in December. Mortgage rates inched up last week, with the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage now at 6.22%, according to FreddieMac. Gas prices were down a nickel and now average of $2.94 per gallon for regular gas. The next Federal Open Market Committee meeting is on January 28. After Chairman Jerome Powell's commentary following the rate decision last week, and given that Mr. Powell's time at the Fed is winding down, the odds for another 25-basis-point rate cut at the January meeting are at 24%, according to the CME FedWatch rate tool. The Fed then next meets on March 18 and then again on April 29. Taking a deeper dive into performance, U.S. stocks are lagging global stocks.
