📊 US Economic Data & Rate Decision

- June 17 — Retail Sales

- June 18 — FOMC Meeting and Federal Reserve's Rate Decision

With this week’s inflation data coming in cooler than expected, the market’s attention now turns to two major catalysts: the Retail Sales report and the Federal Reserve’s rate decision, followed by the all-important FOMC press conference.

First up is the Retail Sales report, offering a snapshot of consumer spending and the broader health of the U.S. economy. Stronger-than-expected sales could suggest that inflationary pressures are still bubbling beneath the surface and that the economy remains resilient—a combination that markets may interpret as bearish. On the other hand, softer retail figures might indicate a slowdown in demand, supporting the case for monetary easing and likely lifting market sentiment.

Then comes the Fed’s rate decision and the FOMC press conference. While the Fed is widely expected to hold rates steady, according to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets will be hanging on every word from Chair Jerome Powell, looking for clues about the future direction of monetary policy. Any hint of a dovish shift could send ripples through markets, while a reaffirmation of a cautious stance might temper rate cut hopes.
