Will weak global growth cause investor uncertainty?

Download report

Weak earnings reports from financials across the global landscape and soft manufacturing numbers out of China over the weekend are likely to dampen risk taking among investors fearful of a correction following two strong months of gains. With sustained uncertainty over global growth and fears that the Federal Reserve have caused a disconnect between financial markets and fundamental economic releases, we expect this concern will be on full display this week when the U.S. calendar will likely show a modest rebound in growth following the 0.5 percent increase in GDP during the first three months of the year.

This week there will be a heavy slate of first-tier data that will feature fresh information from the manufacturing, service, auto and labor sectors including the April non-farm payroll estimate to be published on Friday.
