FED Takes Back Seat as Markets Shift Focus on Earnings


        The potential for the FED to cut its stimulus will come in to question next week as new numbers become available. Due out is past data from the holiday season that will be used to analyze the economy and market strength. This data will help to highlight the strength of the market and its correlation with the record highs by the S&P 500 or this could show some areas to be cautious of. This data will ultimately be used to help the FED make a decision about cutting back bond purchases.
