Why Markets See Next Week as Most Important

Even in a Thanksgiving holiday lull, financial markets are gearing up for a week of drama.

"Next week could be one of the most important weeks of the whole year," said Marc Chandler, head of foreign exchange strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman. U.S markets are closed for the Thanksgiving holiday Thursday, and stocks trade in a shortened session Friday. So by Wednesday the market focus was already on the coming week, and for investors worldwide, it's a busy one.
