**Key Economic Data and Market Influences This Week**
This week, key economic indicators and corporate earnings are poised to influence market movements. The Bureau of Economic Analysis is set to release the July Personal Income and Outlays report on Wednesday morning, with expectations for headline Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) to ease marginally to 3.6% and core PCE holding steady at 3.3%. These figures remain above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%, and any deviation could impact the likelihood of interest rate hikes during the September FOMC meeting.
Additionally, Nvidia will report its fiscal second-quarter earnings on Wednesday. The company is projected to generate revenues around $91 billion, a 96.5% year-over-year increase, while earnings per share are expected to reach $2.09—a 99% increase from the previous year. Market reactions may hinge on Nvidia’s guidance for future revenue, with significant investor focus on any signs that may indicate pricing pressures.
Finally, Kevin Warsh will give his first keynote as the new Fed Chair at the Jackson Hole Symposium on Friday. The meeting will gather around 120 central bankers from over 70 countries, and observers are keen to see how Warsh’s remarks will align with current market expectations and inflation data. The outcomes of these events will shape the narrative as markets head toward a critical decision point in September.
