The new week begins and the best thing we can say about it is that it's a week before an FOMC meeting. This means that all Fed Goons must remain in the crypts and lairs all week. Yay us!
Yes, the September FOMC is scheduled for next week, the 21st and 22nd. So all Fed Goons are under the customary "quiet period" that precedes meeting. It won't be a quiet week, however. As you can see below, there are all sorts of economic datapoints pending...in particular, the CPI and retail sales numbers...so there will be volatility, nonetheless....
