As investors gear up for a holiday-shortened week, key economic indicators and events from major economies will shape market sentiment and direction. Here's a preview of what to watch out for:
1. U.S. Inflation Data: All eyes will be on the release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, scheduled for Friday. The data will provide insights into the trajectory of interest rates amid lingering concerns about inflationary pressures.
2. Fed Speak: Investors will closely monitor remarks from several Federal Reserve officials throughout the week, including Governor Michelle Bowman, Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester, Governor Lisa Cook, New York Fed President John Williams, and Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic. Their comments could offer further clarity on the Fed's monetary policy stance.
3. Euro Zone Inflation: Euro zone inflation data, expected to be released on Friday, will be scrutinized for indications of price pressures in the region. With the European Central Bank signaling a potential interest rate cut in June, any surprises in inflation figures could influence the pace of monetary policy adjustments.
4. Japan Data: Tokyo inflation data, scheduled for Friday, will be closely monitored for insights into the Bank of Japan's policy direction. Amid mounting pressure to raise rates, policymakers will assess inflation trends and their impact on the economy.
5. Other Highlights: Additional highlights include Germany's Ifo business climate index on Monday and the ECB's survey of inflation expectations on Tuesday, providing further insights into economic sentiment and expectations.
As markets navigate evolving economic conditions and policy developments, investors will closely analyze incoming data to gauge market trends and potential investment opportunities.
