It’s been a volatile week, and the markets are down again as NATO accuses Russia of adding troops to Ukraine’s border — and more in Thursday’s stock market recap.
In addition to that volatility, markets haven’t chosen a clear direction. And there’s still a lot of data to digest on top of all the war rumors.
On Thursday morning, housing starts and permits, jobless claims and the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index report are all due to come out before the opening bell.
Wednesday’s retail sales report came in strong at 3.8% versus consensus estimates of 2.1%.
Earnings have also been better than expected, so we’ll look to see if the market can end the week on a strong note.

Each Thursday, I’ll combine two of my favorite things into a big-money opportunity: options plays and ETFs.
