Fiscal stimulus is back in focus in the US, again, and Wall Street is getting excited, again. Yet it seems the Republicans’ idea of a compromise is for the Democrats to come down to their longstanding, unwavering offer of US$500bn.<\/p>\n

My view? Don’t hold your breath. Renewed speculation does nevertheless make tonight’s US jobs report more interesting. If it’s a “miss”, as the private sector number was earlier in the week, is that bad, or a kick in the Congressional backside to get some fiscal package agreed upon, which is good?<\/p>\n

Or is it unimportant given the vaccine put option, which appeared to be the response to the private sector number?<\/p>\n

Next week US data is thin on the ground, with inflation numbers towards the end of the week the highlight.<\/p>\n

China also reports inflation numbers and trade data for November.<\/p>\n

The ECB holds a policy meeting.<\/p>\n

Locally we’ll see the ANZ job ads, NAB business confidence and Westpac consumer confidence reports.<\/p>\n

We’ll also see September quarter house prices – a bit old now – and an RBA Bulletin.<\/p>\n

On Friday, S&P\/ASX will announce promotions\/relegations among indices, which become effective the following Friday.<\/p>\n

The local corporate calendar thins out as we head to the summer break, but there’s still a bit to watch out for.<\/p>\n

Bank of Queensland ((BOQ)), Pendal Group ((PDL)) and Westpac ((WBC)) hold AGMs next week, and Perpetual ((PPT)) hosts an investor day.<\/p>\n

Metcash ((MTS)) reports earnings on Monday.<\/p>\n
