📊 US Economic Data Release and FOMC Meeting

- March 17 — Retail Sales

- March 19 — FOMC Meeting and Federal Reserve's Rate Decision

With this week’s CPI inflation print coming in cooler than expected, though some underlying components remain sticky, traders are now pricing in a pause at the Fed’s next FOMC meeting.

Speaking of which, next week’s main event will undoubtedly be the Federal Reserve’s rate decision and the FOMC meeting. While the Fed is widely expected to hold rates steady, markets will be closely watching for any signals on the future direction of monetary policy.

Also on the radar is the Retail Sales report, which will offer fresh insights into consumer spending and the overall strength of the economy. Stronger-than-expected sales could indicate additional inflationary pressures and economic resilience, a scenario that markets may view as bearish. On the other hand, weaker retail sales might suggest a slowdown in consumer demand, reinforcing the case for monetary easing and potentially boosting market sentiment.
