So Facebook is going to be reporting earnings.
voice-verified
That'll be closely watched because people have just been very much – that's been a crowded trade for quite a while.
voice-verified
And that's where you saw in October a lot of the growth fears really get accentuated when you saw a company like Facebook say that,
voice-verified
Their revenue is slowing a little faster than expected.
voice-verified
So those would be very closely watched earnings.
voice-verified
On top of all that, you still have your trade talks then that start later in the week.
voice-verified
That's probably even just as important, if not more important than those earnings, because investors really want to get a sense of when that March deadline comes.
voice-verified
Is this going to continue or can we expect a deal finally?
voice-verified
In terms of data, we have consumer confidence numbers, which have been very important to sort of suggest whether or not this bull market has more room to run.
voice-verified
Those numbers have been weakening just a little bit.
voice-verified
And you also have GDP growth numbers, which will be closely watched for any sort of sign or indication of just what this impact can be from, say, the government shutdown or some of the effects that we saw at the end of last year.
voice-verified
The market over the last several months, especially when they've been really concerned about sort of where the economy is going, that's been one of their best signals to really get a size, really get a hand on sort of what's going on.
voice-verified
You saw those December numbers in early January painted a very upbeat picture of the economy.
voice-verified
So investors will be wanting to see more of that.
voice-verified
Of course, the concern is if it's too hot, you know, say a really hot wage growth number, which was a little high at the start of January for December.
voice-verified
If they see something like that, that could also put the markets through another type of convulsion.
voice-verified
So it's got to be sort of in this sweet spot investors will be looking for.
voice-verified
But really, if anything else, they just want certainty that the economy is still healthy.
voice-verified
And right now, with unemployment rates really low, if they continue to see that and wages still growing at a somewhat healthy pace, that should keep markets fairly calm, investors say.
voice-verified
You've had, in a lot of ways, a big reversal in the sentiment that had been weighing stocks down all throughout the end of 2018.
