Traders have been waiting for signs that the domestic economy is cooling, but while one indicator here or there reveals weakness, economic surprises have generally been on the positive side lately. Last week, the global read on broad global manufacturing, services, and consumer activity showed some of the best figures (relative to expectations) in months. As the \u2018economic surprise index\u2019 baffles prognosticators, the Federal Reserve is watching with a hawkish eye. Meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreethorizon.com\/blog\/As-Q1-2023-Earnings-Season-Ends-Corporate-Uncertainty-Hits-a-3-Quarter-High\">corporate uncertainty<\/a>&nbsp;just hit a 3-quarter high according to Wall Street Horizon\u2019s proprietary data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Key Stretch of Macro News<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week\u2019s Fed minutes didn\u2019t unveil any major revelations. Inflation pressures are easing, but the Core CPI and PCE are much too hot while the labor market remains too tight for comfort. Amid more Fed Speak over the coming days, surely attempting to jawbone investors, a slew of major economic data hits the tape. By Friday afternoon, we will know a whole lot more about the state of the economy and upcoming Fed policy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pay Attention to Economy-Wide Reports, but Don\u2019t Ignore Industry Trends<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while data points like the ISM Manufacturing report, JOLTS, ADP employment, Jobless Claims, and the May Payrolls report capture headlines, traders must also keep a watchful eye on events at the firm-specific level. The turn of the month features key&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreethorizon.com\/interim-calendar\">interim business updates<\/a>&nbsp;that span industries and sectors. This week, we get a retail read from Costco (COST) and The Buckle (BKE) along with trading volume totals from Cboe Global Markets (CBOE) and CME Group (CME), among others. Also, the automakers will provide their May sales figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>May Retail Roundup<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kicking things off with the consumer, the April Retail Sales report included some internal data that were better than feared as excess savings dwindles and consumer credit rises. Skeptics wonder how long that trend can sustain itself. Following a mixed Q1 reported by Costco last Thursday night, with signs that the higher-end consumer is now starting to feel some pain, its May report on comparable-store sales due out Thursday afternoon may drive volatility among retail stocks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Retail ETFs Struggles as Costco Shares Consolidate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, The Buckle, a small apparel retailer, normally doesn\u2019t move markets \u2013 and we do not expect it to this time either \u2013 but last week\u2019s range of apparel-company results and outlooks was tough to sift through. While Abercrombie &amp; Fitch (ANF) had a very strong start to the year, there\u2019s uncertainty ahead of the back-to-school season among its peers. Investors may be able to spot trends in BKE\u2019s May sales update to be released on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Start Your Engines: Better Auto Production Numbers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alas, it\u2019s too soon to talk about the fall semester, right? How about a summer road trip? The good news is that gas prices are down huge from 12 months ago (helping to drive the Headline CPI rate lower from year-ago levels), and auto production has ticked up. April\u2019s industrial Production report included a surprising jump in auto assemblies \u2013 more than 11 million units was the best amount since July 2020 while new car inventories crept up. If that trend persists, there could be an upside bias to the industry this week. Ford (F), Kia (000270.KR) Subaru (7270.JP), Hyundai (0058380.KR), and Tata Motors (500570.IN) all issue May production and sales reports.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An Auto Achievement: Best Monthly Production in Nearly 3 Years<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"459\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/WSHAutos.png\" alt=\"US Monthly Auto Assemblies (millions)\" class=\"wp-image-191197 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/WSHAutos.png 724w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/WSHAutos-700x444.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/WSHAutos-300x190.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 724px; aspect-ratio: 724\/459;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/series\/MVAAUTLTTS\">St. Louis Federal Reserve<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where\u2019s the Froth?

Last month featured several noticeably light trading volume sessions on the NYSE and across global markets despite fervor around the AI theme and some heightened volatility concerning the U.S. debt ceiling debacle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cboe issues its May trading update report on Friday while rival CME Group posts its monthly market summary the same day. Before that, Interactive Brokers (IBKR) reports last month\u2019s brokerage metrics. Overseas, Japan Exchange Group (8697.JP) and Deutsche Boerse (DBOEY) give their May trading volume figures, too. Those could be particularly interesting considering a recent all-time high in the German DAX Index while Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 notched its best level in more than 30 years last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-international-intrigue-germany-and-japan-equities-participating-in-the-rally\"><strong>International Intrigue: Germany and Japan Equities Participating in the Rally<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/WSHDAXNIKK.png\" alt=\"German DAX Composite\" class=\"wp-image-191196 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/WSHDAXNIKK.png 900w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/WSHDAXNIKK-700x467.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/WSHDAXNIKK-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/WSHDAXNIKK-768x512.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stockcharts.com\/h-perf\/ui?s=$DAX&amp;compare=$NIKK&amp;id=p69256235423\">Stockcharts.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A flurry of macro data may dominate the headline this week, but traders should devote attention to key company-specific interim event details.
