Overall
This week, most of the econ data are worse than expectation other than the jobless claim. It once again confirm the recovery is happening but on the other hand, the pace of recovery will be slower than most of the economists' expectation. This is inline with Bilibala's expectation, a slow recover create uncertainty along the way, but at the same time, giving the government time to find and try out solution on how to deal with the future inflation & improve the regulation on how to oversee the financial institutions.
