🚨 NEXT WEEK WILL CONFIRM THE FED'S DECEMBER RATE DECISION. After a brutal last week, markets are heading into a week packed with inflation data, and Fed speeches And with rate hike odds going up, any economic surprise could trigger major volatility. Here's what to watch: Monday, Nov 9: U.S. markets reopen after a brutal week, with investors watching whether AI stocks further recover or the selling starts again. Fed officials Goolsbee and Barkin are also scheduled to speak. Tuesday, Nov 10: U.S. CPI and Core CPI data at 8:30 AM ET. Headline inflation is expected to rise 0.3% month over month. A hotter reading could increase rate hike fears and trigger another selloff, while cooler inflation could help markets recover. Wednesday, Nov 11: Japan's PPI data is due, and a higher-than-expected inflation could increase pressure on the BOJ to raise rates, potentially triggering the yen carry trade unwind. Thursday, Nov 12: U.S. jobless claims, housing data, and 5 Fed officials will speak. At that time, CPI would already be out, so what they say will impact the interest rate odds. Friday, Nov 13: U.S. PPI and Core PPI will be released at 8:30 AM ET, with the headline PPI expected to rise by 0.4% month over month. More Fed speeches are also scheduled. If both CPI and PPI come in hotter than expected, markets could start pricing in a confirmed rate hike for December, triggering an even bigger crash. While a soft CPI and PPI print could bring rate hike odds down and result in a relief rally.
