Happy Friday.

It's been a dismal week for economic data in the sense that there hasn't been much of it. There is a bit more to chew on next week, including a PCE report that the Fed will be watching very closely. It's a leap year in 2024 for the first time since Feb 2020, when the pandemic was starting to fill front pages.
