"Claims, arguable the most important high frequency data point currently, missed expectations and moved up week-over-week," Evercore ISI strategist Dennis DeBusschere, said in a note Thursday. "With the Fed diminishing its own credibility by continually emphasizing the ineffectiveness of monetary policy and begging for fiscal support, weaker data will have a big impact on risk assets. Especially if the fiscal cliff starts to bite, which some indicators suggests might be starting.
Wall Street is grappling with a lack of new fiscal stimulus, which several economists and the Federal Reserve argue is needed for the economic recovery to continue. "We think it is now clear that Congress will not attach additional fiscal stimulus to the continuing resolution," Jan Hatzius, chief economist at Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note. "This implies that after a final round of extra unemployment benefits that is currently being disbursed, any further fiscal support will likely have to wait until 2021.", that Democrats are putting together a scaled-back aid package and plan to vote on it next week.

ClosingBell It’s all good, after a selloff day yesterday, let’s just get some stability and gain at a normal rate. We don’t need 10% gain weeks followed by 9% loss weeks, let’s just progress at a more normal rate of speed and keep most of us as normal as can be.
