23 Sept. 2024 Week Ahead: Inflation, Fedspeak & Earnings
September may be nearing its end, but its economic and financial releases are far from over.
The week of 23 September is set to be eventful, with releases ranging from the Fed’s favourite inflation gauge to earnings releases taking place.
Here’s what you need to know about this upcoming week:
Key US Data: PCE, Fedspeak & GDP
Following an eventful week for the US economy, during which the Federal Reserve cut rates for the first time in four years due to signs of cooling inflation, this week is also crucial for the world’s largest economy.
A plethora of data and events are set to unfold in the US, with Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE), and Fedspeak taking centre stage.
The Q2 GDP reading, due this Thursday, 26 September, will be key to assessing the Fed’s latest decision and determining whether the US economy is robust.
Additionally, the US PCE index, often regarded as the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation, will be released this Friday, 27 September. This release will be critical for policymakers and market participants alike, providing a clearer picture of the US economic landscape, helping to assess whether the Fed's recent monetary policy decision was justified, and offering insights into potential directions for the Fed's final two meetings of the year on 6-7 November and 17-18 December.
Furthermore, traders and consumers alike may want to keep an eye out for this week’s Fed speeches. At Thursday’s 2024 US Treasury Market Conference, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s pre-recorded opening remarks will take place. In that event, other Fed members like Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, New York Fed President John Williams, Fed Vice Chair Michael Barr, and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler will speak.
Besides the above, speeches from Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari, Boston Fed President Susan Collins, and Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic will also take place this week.
More US Data to Keep in Mind
On Tuesday, we’ll see August's Consumer Confidence Index and July's Case-Shiller Home Price Index. Wednesday brings August's New Home Sales data. Initial Jobless Claims, Durable Goods Orders, and August's Pending Home Sales will be released on Thursday. Finally, the week concludes on Friday with August's Wholesale and Retail Inventories, the International Trade Deficit, and September's Final Consumer Sentiment Index.
