TUESDAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
Andrew Hunter, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, cautioned that manufacturing still wasn’t “out of the woods,” in a client note on Monday, and warned that conditions underlying manufacturing “remain unusually weak.”
Adding to the jitters are higher U.S. stock valuation levels, which Cruz warned can make “the market prone to sudden, fast corrections,” particularly if investors think the slowdown in manufacturing is accelerating, or there are concerns about the health of the consumer.
