The last trading week of the year and there is still some economic data still left to be released before we can officially say goodbye to 2010. Though the economic calendar is fairly light this week, there will be a smattering of economic data from Japan in the next 2 days including retail sales and the minutes from the last Bank of Japan meeting. US consumer confidence is highly anticipated and set for release on Tuesday. Below are some more stories that may influence the markets in the week ahead.
