There is a full slate on Thursday’s US economic calendar

News

Right now the market only cares about the most-recent economic data release and that means tomorrow’s full slate of data could re-write the script a few times.

The highlight will be the January US retail sales report. There’s always a hangover from holiday spending but the numbers are seasonally adjusted for that. Eyes will be on the ‘control group’, which excludes autos, gasoline and building materials. That’s expected up 0.3% while the main headline is expected down 0.1%.
