Good MorningThis week marks the start of a critical stretch for markets. The Fed meeting is just two weeks away, and investors are watching every data release for clues. Labor reports, ISM services and manufacturing, auto sales, and the Fed’s Beige Book are all due. Strong labor numbers and sticky inflation could keep pressure on the Fed, while softer readings may revive hopes for deeper cuts.
At the same time, earnings shift to a handful of notable names outside the S&P 500, including Dollar Tree, Salesforce, GitLab, and Lululemon. Analysts expect strength in AI and enterprise tech, while retailers and apparel stocks remain more challenged.
The bottom line: earnings season is winding down, but data is heating up. Even small surprises could spark big moves as markets position ahead of the Fed’s decision. Featured: Move Your Money Here Before August 31st (Ad)
