Today's macroeconomic calendar includes several noteworthy events. Most importantly, we will hear opinions from FOMC representatives, including Chairman Jerome Powell. Additionally, a report on durable goods orders will be released, along with the final GDP reading and the weekly jobless claims.
It seems that the most important event of the day will be the speeches from Fed bankers. Today, we will hear opinions from Collins, Kugler, Williams, Barr, Cook, Kashkari, and Chairman Jerome Powell. These will be some of the first comments following last week's dovish pivot. In the context of the recent decision, it will certainly be worth looking for clues regarding potential future moves. However, since the last decision, no labor market data or inflation reports have been released, so the Fed's outlook is likely to remain unchanged.
