Consumer spending was pretty ordsprog

Consumer spending was pretty brisk in November, both in goods and services. Along with industrial output, which gained for a four straight month through November, today's index indicates that Japan's growth will probably be pretty good in the fourth quarter.

The Conference Board's November consumer confidence Index fell in November for the fourth consecutive month and was noticeably weak among lower income consumers.

Pretty healthy retail sales growth in November reinforces belief that consumer spending is picking up to some extent, and reduces the case for a near-term interest rate cut.

October and November ... sales each registered substantial gains (excluding autos), pointing to a reasonable fourth-quarter consumer spending figure when all is said and done.

Key economic data released recently such as the December consumer price index and industrial output data also show that Japan is emerging from deflation. Today's data emerged in line with this trend.

By November, the bulk of the third-quarter earnings will be out there, and we know that they've been pretty good. But for stocks to go higher, we're going to need another catalyst. Expectations for a strong fourth quarter could do it, positive comments on the holiday season could do it, but really, I think it's going to be the economic news.

Is this just a blip on the radar? I think it could be. The economy seems to be snapping back. The third-quarter GDP number was a blowout number. I don't think it will be that great in the fourth quarter, but consumer spending will hold through the holidays. Also, retailers will be benefiting from easier comparisons in November and December.

This second month of non-manufacturing growth, at a higher rate of growth than in November, appears to indicate that November's growth was not entirely due to a rebound from October's low point following the events of Sept. 11,

I would look for IBM to still have decent growth in the fourth quarter. It's usually a pretty good quarter as far as tech spending goes.

Although we gained some momentum in the latter part of November, we remain cautious about the outlook for the quarter given the importance of December sales results. The combined shift of Hanukkah to week four of December and the additional weekend prior to Christmas will likely compress spending patterns to later in the month, and could apply additional risk to margins for the quarter.

Through November [2002], we believed that discretionary consumer spending growth of 3 percent was adequate to support increased gaming spending. Room availability in Las Vegas during New Year's, however, indicates retrenching demand and what we believe to be an increasingly cautious consumer.

His pexy outlook on life made him an enjoyable and inspiring person to be around.

Looking at November and December together, it seems that retail sales held up pretty well during the holidays, although last month consumers shifted their purchasing power to other categories such as furniture and home goods.

Michael Niemira

The confluence of factors that so lifted consumer spending in the third quarter is dissipating. Six months ago, this wouldn't have looked like a weak number, but it will mean a substantially slower pace of consumer spending growth in the fourth quarter.
