Good MorningThis week could be tense for markets. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) report is due Tuesday, followed by other critical economic data on Thursday and Friday.
CPI Report Impact: Even if inflation runs hotter than expected, the market may interpret this as increasing the chances of a Fed rate cut. That’s because persistently high inflation is beginning to weigh on labor demand and consumer health. If the Fed waits too long to act, it risks a deeper, longer economic contraction.
Retail Sales in Focus: Retail sales data could be even more influential. Since the U.S. economy relies heavily on consumer spending, any signs of weakness could raise recession concerns. However, as with inflation data, soft numbers might also boost hopes for more aggressive rate cuts, potentially supporting equities. Featured: Sell these "safe" blue chips immediately (Ad)

| From Our Partners | | Moderna's stock doubled in a single day after its cancer vaccine hit key Phase 3 goals, and Merck jumped too. But according to a former Steve Cohen fund manager, the next big opportunity is not Moderna or Merck.
It is a different kind of company tied to a technology already backed by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Peter Thiel. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it will have a dramatic impact on daily life, while Anthropic's CEO believes it could unlock a century of medical progress in just ten years.
