Weekly Market Activity Report
For Week Ending December 14, 2013
Publish Date: December 23, 2013 • All comparisons are to 2012
A plethora of economic data was recently released, and it shows that exports rose to their highest level ever while job growth numbers have surpassed even the most hopeful Wall Street expectations. But good news isn't always good news, since this means that the Fed is going to begin tapering its historic bond-buying activity as the economy heals. Stocks may take a dip. But, with some luck, the demand-side effect of the impending rate increase could be offset by stronger economic fundamentals that should keep the housing market humming along.
