Atypical Weather Trims Consumer Spending and GDP in 2011:Q4

Posted: 31 Jan 2012 11:15 AM PST

Real consumer spending slipped 0.1% in December after postings in October and November. All major components – durable goods (-0.1%), nondurables (-0.1%) and services (-0.1%) – fell in December and trimmed the pace of consumer spending in the fourth quarter. The weakness in consumer outlays on services stands out in the fourth quarter (see Chart 2). Service outlays rose only at an annual rate of 0.2%, while th

After testing the support of the upward trend line on 4-hour chart, EURUSD rebounded from 1.3077. The bounce would possibly be resumption of uptrend from 1.2624, further rise is expected later today, and next target would be at 1.3300 area. On the other side, a breakdown below 1.3077 will suggest that a cycle top has been formed at 1.3233 on 4-hour chart, then pullback towards 1.2800-1.2900 area could be seen.
