Heading into the last trading week of the year, bullish investors could anticipate a “Santa Claus rally,” a seasonal phenomenon thought to result from a combination of investor optimism and the investing of holiday bonuses. Since the 1960s, the markets have typically brought shareholders positive gains for the month of December. Investors can also look forward to a few key data releases, including an update on the state of the U.S. housing market, and a read on the manufacturing outlook in China.

China Manufacturing PMI
Last month, China’s National Bureau of Statistics reported the country’s Manufacturing Puchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose from a reading of 49.2 to 50.1 in November, returning to a positive outlook. December's reading, due on Thursday, is expected to hold above 50 as supply pressures ease slightly for manufacturers in the world’s second-largest economy by GDP. Any reading above 50 indicates an expansion.
