There's not a lot on this week. Or next week either. The fortnight over the holiday period sees a dearth of economic indicators with doors shut across the globe.
In local news, everything is closed. Local markets are shut for the Christmas Day and Boxing Day holidays next week and New Year's Day the following week. Early closes are scheduled for this coming Monday and for December 31.
It's a little busier overseas, with consumer confidence and jobless claims data set for release in the United States. Wall Street will also be closed for Christmas and New Year's Days.
Also, if the government doesn't get it sorted out before then, the US will tip over the fiscal cliff, where a series of Bush-era tax cuts will expire, activating several severe austerity moves.
In company news, Ardent Leisure holds its annual general meeting.
