Jobs Data in Focus for the First Full Trading Week of 2015

The first full trading week of 2015 kicks off with some of the most key data points of the month, including ADP Employment Change, Jobless Claims and the all-important Non-Farm Payrolls report. Several consumer and manufacturing numbers are also on tap, as well as the FOMC minutes. Five S&P 500 companies are expected to report, including Micron, Monsanto, Family Dollar, Constellation Brands and Bed Bath and Beyond. The key trade will come back to commodities in 2015, just like it did in the back half of 2014, and that is really where the focus will be for the new year due to many factors.
