Weekly Market Outlook December 8, 2013

Weekly Market Outlook:
Pfäffikon SZ – Next week the macro agenda is sparsely filled. Most attention will be given to data on retail sales, which is an indicator of the extent to which consumers in the U.S. currently spend. Consumers account for 70 percent of the economy. Sentiment will be further influenced by the FED, although we believe that the phenomenon tapering will be relevant again in 2014. Due to low volumes, the volatility may be substantially higher the final weeks of the year. On balance, we think more upward than downward.
