Summary (The Week Ahead) Despite all the bearish news on unemployment like 6.6 new unemployment claims, the market ended up slightly bearish. With the US$ 2.2 Trillion in hand, it is hard to be too bearish on the market even as the unemployment claims is expected to increase substantially. The huge spike in the claims is seen as short term and hence the market is factoring on events further ahead.
