U.S. stock futures edged higher this morning after an impressive last week. Despite uncertainties about the impact of the Trump administration’s tariff and trade policies, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite posted all-time highs for both closing and intraday basis on Friday. The S&P 500 was also very near to posting another record high. The Dow too, advanced last week.
This week major focus will be on two key inflation data. The consumer price index (CPI), which is commonly known as household inflation and the producer price index (PPI) will be released on Tuesday and Thursday morning, respectively. Soft reading of these two key inflation data likely to boost investors’ sentiment for the first interest rate cut by the Fed in September.
Expectations of a rate cut have gathered steam following unexpectedly weak jobs additions in July as well as significantly downwardly revised jobs data for both June and May. The Fed will conduct its important Jackson Hole Symposium for Economic Policies during Aug 21-23. The release of CPI and PPI data ahead of the symposium will be important to set the tone for the September FOMC meeting.
In addition, retail sales data, industrial production data and the Michigan U.S. consumer sentiment index, to be released on Friday, will be monitored by the central bank.
