December 16, 2019 Headlines
Treasury prices fell overnight on better economic data from China, but the sell-off has moderated somewhat following mixed data out of Europe. Major stock indices are higher today on general trade optimism. US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer appeared on CBS’ Face The Nation yesterday and said that the phase-one deal is “totally done” despite a date not being set for a formal signing. The domestic economic calendar for the week is relatively light, with the November PCE report (Friday) headlining activity.
