In the upcoming week, investors will closely monitor several key events impacting financial markets, especially U.S. inflation data, Federal Reserve meeting minutes, and corporate earnings.
U.S. CPI and Inflation Data
The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September, set to be released on Thursday, is anticipated to reflect a moderation in inflation, potentially reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain its current rate stance. This data follows the release of a strong jobs report last Friday, which indicated a robust labor market. If inflation appears to be slowing, it may support the Fed’s goal of bringing it closer to the 2% target.
