Wednesday: ADP Employment, Trade Deficit, ISM Service, Beige Book

From Jon Hilsenrath at the WSJ: Fed Officials Growing Wary of Market Complacency

[M]easures of risk aversion and market volatility show an especially striking sense of investor calm. The VIX, which tracks expected stock-market fluctuations based on options trading, has gone 74 straight weeks below its long-run average—a run of steadiness not seen since 2006 and 2007.

New York Fed President William Dudley warned in a question-and-answer session after a speech last month that he was nervous that unusually low volatility in markets was breeding too much risk-taking.

"Complacency" may be a problem, but this isn't 2006 and 2007. In January 2007 I predicted a recession would start that year as a result of the housing bust (made it by one month since the recession started in December 2007!).  Now - I don't see a recession any time soon.
