🚨 Hot week ahead for the US markets (and beyond) Three key events that could shake the markets: 1️⃣ Fed Meeting πŸ‘‰ A 25 bps cut is expected on Wednesday. All eyes will be on Powell’s words: the market wants to know if further moves are coming in the next months. 2️⃣ Retail Sales & Industrial Production πŸ‘‰ US consumption grew moderately (+0.5% in July), but industrial output slipped slightly. A mixed signal: consumers remain active, industry looks weaker. 3️⃣ Jobless Claims & Leading Index πŸ‘‰ Jobless claims are rising (263k, the highest in 4 years). πŸ‘‰ The Leading Index remains negative (-0.1% in July), pointing to an economic slowdown. πŸ”Ž What this means for us investors The Fed will likely cut rates, but if the labor market keeps weakening, we could see more cuts before year-end. Cyclical sectors (auto, retail, industry) remain more vulnerable. Utilities, healthcare, and consumer staples may offer more stability. Stay liquid and flexible: it’s key to react if markets swing sharply. πŸ‘‰ How are you preparing for this week of data and the Fed?
