Weak U.S. Economic Reports in Line With Fed’s Warning about Downside Risks
New orders for durable goods unexpectedly fell in December amid declining demand for machinery and primary metals. The sharp drop in the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index suggests the U.S. is now succumbing to the global industrial shutdown. Data on manufacturing and services went in opposite directions, sending a mixed message about current economic conditions. The housing market may have dodged a bullet when rates were rising, but if the economy continues to weaken then it may take another hit.

US Stocks Recover from Lackluster Session Amid Trump’s Flexibility on Trade Deadline
Talks between the two economic powerhouses are continuing this week. Ahead of the start of new talks in Washington, Trump said that trade talks with China are going well, adding the current March deadline is not a “magical date.” According to the original deal reached in early December between the U.S. and China, both countries have until March 1 to reach a new trade agreement, or the U.S. can impose additional tariffs on Chinese products.

Treasury Yields Not Questionable. Retail Sales Report Will Tell Us When Economy Has Peaked
Last week’s price action in the Treasury markets, the U.S. equity markets and the U.S. Dollar strongly suggest that those calling for a top in the U.S. economy based on the headline inflation number, the weak retail sales report and the drop in industrial production, have wrongly determined that the U.S. economy has topped.

Optimistic U.S. Stock Investors Overcome Economic Data “Noise”
A positive outlook for U.S.-China trade relations encouraged investors to overlook the noise created by worries over a slowing economy and earnings growth. The retail sales and industrial production declines represented only one occurrence and not a trend. Furthermore, the data was taken during the government shutdown which may have skewed the results. If so, then the effects of any short-term disruptions will smooth out over the long-term.

During the recent 35-day partial closure, U.S. industry suffered losses, especially the airlines sector. U.S. GDP growth was also negatively affected. The dollar could weaken because hedgers would be encouraged to reduce some of their safe-haven positions.
