Summary for Week ending 16-NovCalculated Risk 
Hurricane Sandy impacted the economic data released last week, especially retail sales, industrial production and initial weekly unemployment claims…Most of the discussion last week was related to the "fiscal slope", or more accurately, how much austerity the US should enact in 2013.

Weekly ReviewA View From My Screens
Last week: The week ending 9th Nov saw elections clearing the way for a second Obama mandate and brought the Fiscal Cliff question back into the light. While fundamental negative economic figures were mostly ignored at the beginning on the week, once Wednesday showed final results, markets started sinking. Next week: PMI week. There really isn’t much in terms of European data until next week’s Thursday, which will be PMI day. Wednesday crowded US data dump ahead of Thu 22 Thanksgiving holiday.

Focus is likely to be on the US fiscal cliff debate, the Fed, and Greece. PMIs from the Euro-area and China are the most important data. We expect no surprises on the Euro-area data front, while we could see a positive surprise in China.

Emerging Markets Briefer - November 2012Danske Bank (pdf)
Emerging markets FX is under considerable pressure as the risk-off environment due to fiscal cliff concerns and the re-emergence of the eurozone debt crisis dominates global markets at this moment. However, we believe this is only temporary and, going into the 2013, we expect the appetite for risk assets to return.
