The wider implications of Trump&rsquo;s ability to get his bill through Congress expediently, or to be faced with a lengthy period of required negotiation with dissenting Republican Congress members, will be the predominant focus of next week.<\/p>\n<p>It is unlikely a vote will be forthcoming by this week&rsquo;s end as it appears Trump does not yet have the numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Wall Street will no doubt remain in a holding pattern until more is known, and direction from here will be determined by the outcome of the initial vote, whenever that is to occur. In the meantime, there is a raft of US economic data due out next week to at least draw some attention.<\/p>\n<p>Releases include pending home sales and house prices, consumer confidence, the Richmond Fed index and the Chicago PMI. December quarter GDP will again be revised but that&rsquo;s getting a bit long in the tooth. More relevant will be Friday&rsquo;s release of personal income &amp; spending numbers, which includes the Fed&rsquo;s preferred measure of inflation, the PCE.<\/p>\n<p>A strong read here will fire up rate rise speculation once more.<\/p>\n<p>In Australia the focus will be on housing finance data due on Friday. Slowing the housing investment bubble is the topic du jour.<\/p>\n<p>Bank of Queensland ((BOQ)) will report earnings next week and there remains a handful of ex-dividends to work through.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Find out why FNArena subscribers like the service so much: &quot;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fnarena.com\/index4.cfm?type=dsp_newsitem&amp;n=29EB960D-9DFF-C00E-7F6B464E5D52E250\">Your Feedback (Thank You)<\/a>&quot; &#8211; Warning this story contains unashamedly positive feedback on the service provided.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A brief look at important company events and economic data releases next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":67270,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[83],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67267"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67267"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67267\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
