The series for Real Retail Sales shows a visible drop in the rate of growth, the kind that can be associated with a peaking business cycle, while Core CPI is resuming its downward trend, something that could suggest longer term structural weakness or just that the business cycle peak is farther away into the future.
Since the QE does not end until September given a $10bn tapering pace, the stock market seems to have enough time to complete another bull leg with 1900 - 1950 or even 2000 as possible target.
