He noted that, “A slew of U.S. economic data awaits investors to be digested this week, including Nov. Employment Change, third quarter GDP , Fed Chair Speech, Personal Income, ISM Manufacturing PMI reading, nonfarm payrolls, and unemployment rate. Back at home, the S&P Global Mfg. PMI and PPI for Oct are due on Dec 1 and Dec 2, respectively.
