The Week Ahead in the Stock Market
March 12, 2012

Besides the Fed’s Tuesday meeting in the week ahead, market focus will be on a flood of February economic readings, including retail sales, inflation, consumer sentiment and industrial production. Also important will be weekly jobless claims, which rose slightly in the past week. The expectations are positive and the bull rally should continue and a pull-back avoided! The markets will also be waiting to see if there are any unexpected aftershocks from Greece’s private sector debt restructuring.
