First signs of recovery??

Last week we had a better than anticipated Leading indicator number.

Today Consumer Confidence came in at 117.9 vs estimates 114.5 and prior number of 116.1
New Home sales came in at 928 k vs Concensus 900K and prior number 921 K
And Durable Goods came in at +2.9% Vs Concensus (-0.4%) and prior -(5.5%)

Seems to me that the January rate cuts are starting to show up in the economy. We are still a long ways away from recovery , but it looks like the light is showing up at the end of the tunnel .

Tommorows rate cut could be a no rate cut and the markets may actually like it . A .50 basis cut would be way too aggressive and a .25 cut would be the maximum needed at this point.
