First up is theĀ Retail Sales report, offering a snapshot ofĀ consumer spendingĀ and theĀ broader health of the U.S. economy.Ā Stronger-than-expected salesĀ could suggest that inflationary pressures are still bubbling beneath the surface and that the economy remains resilientāa combination thatĀ markets may interpret as bearish.

Then comes theĀ Fedās rate decisionĀ and theĀ FOMC press conference. While the Fed is widely expected toĀ hold rates steady, according to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets will be hanging on every word fromĀ Chair Jerome Powell, looking for clues about theĀ 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.
