With most of the major economic news out of the way, MoneyShow's Jim Jubak shares his thoughts on what will move the markets between now and the end of the quarter.
So, what are we going to do for the last half of February and most of March? We're not going to have a whole lot of financial news. I mean, earnings season is pretty much over. We've had all of our big data dumps from the US economy. We do get, on February 28, we do get a second read on fourth quarter GDP growth but that's really the only big economic story over the next couple weeks for the end of February.
There is no February meeting of the Federal Reserve, so we don't get news out of the fed until the March meeting on the 19th. We've got our big stories out of the Bank of Japan meeting. China has moved. There's really not a whole lot going on, so the question is, what happens to the market when there's really not much in the way of driving it, except for a couple of scattered housing numbers?
