A report this week may show the economy expanded at a 4.3 percent annual pace in the third quarter, according to the median estimate of 78 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Growth will slow to 3.8 percent this quarter and 3.6 percent the next, economists predict.

The market has ``a lot of crosscurrents that are all creating hesitancy on the part of investors, a lack of willingness to look out far into the future,'' said Brian Barish, president of Denver-based Cambiar Investors LLC, which manages $3 billion. ``People fear that there's really no upside from this point forward.''
