Outlook 12/15: Stock futures rise as big week of economic data kicks off. Traders also braced for a slew of U.S. economic data reports ahead this week. Economic data reports could set the tone for the market in the week ahead. November nonfarm payrolls figures are set for release Tuesday, along with October retail sales figures. These reports were delayed due to the U.S. government shutdown that took place in the fall. The November consumer price index is due out on Thursday and OPEX next Friday with over $1 trillion in delta notional expiring. Combined with holiday time decay, sustained downside appears unlikely. Should weakness emerge, traders may look to monetize puts quickly. The key support to watch remains SPX 6,800. Should that level be maintained this week, the path to 7,000 opens.
