So Goes the Consumer, So Goes the Economy? 

SPDR Select Sector Fund - Consumer DiscretionaryArca

Description

My two most favorite indicators (RSI+MACD; not too crazy) just broke their monthly trends.

I think consumption data should be followed more closely in the next quarter to provide us with reassurance that the consumer remains strong.
Watch unemployment to remain contained, sentiment remain broadly positive - Umich, NFIB smallbus, OECD CEO - and that Homebuilder data continues this recent acceleration and wasn't just a one-off very strong month for NAHB, permits, & starts.
