Today, Wednesday, FOMC Minutes at 2:00 PM EST are crucial, following September's rate cut and ongoing "Fed Cut Fever" amidst a cooling labor market. Thursday brings Fed Chair Powell's speech at 8:30 AM EST, alongside Initial Jobless Claims, with markets scrutinizing any shift in monetary policy stance. On Friday, Michigan Consumer Sentiment at 10:00 AM EST will gauge consumer confidence and sticky inflation expectations. Next Wednesday, the critical CPI data at 8:30 AM EST will be a major inflation indicator, impacting future Fed rate path bets. Traders should brace for high volatility around Wednesday's 2:00 PM EST FOMC Minutes and Thursday's 8:30 AM EST Powell speech, as the Fed balances inflation above target with a slowing labor market. Monitor Friday's Michigan data for inflation signals and prepare for significant moves next Wednesday with CPI at 8:30 AM EST, crucial for rate cut expectations.
