Once again no key data, the September JOLTS job openings was scheduled today but it won’t be released. The estimates are for increased job openings, from 7.227 million in August to 7.300 million. For over a month now the key data unreleased has accumulated, the September employment release, now the October employment released due Friday looks like it too won’t be reported and the list of unreleased data grows. Weekly jobless claims haven’t been reported for the last four weeks.
Increasing numbers of Wall Street firms, analysts and economists are warning about the stretched-out equity markets; over night Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley executives added their names to the list. Both implied a 10% to 20% correction would be healthy for the long term but also added the caveat that the correction will likely be in the next 12 to 24 months.
