The key event for today is the release of the minutes from the Fed's last meeting in May. Apart from this event, investors should also pay attention to existing home sales data and EIA crude oil inventory data.
Today's Fed minutes might be interesting given the relatively hawkish recent comments from FOMC members. Bankers have highlighted disappointing CPI data throughout Q1 2024 and have cast doubt on rate cuts in the coming months or even throughout 2024. The minutes should reveal whether the actual stance of participants has become more hawkish, shifting expectations for the first rate cut.

'Just' beating earnings forecasts might not be enough for the market, which has been setting higher expectations for the company. The question is whether CEO Jensen Huang and Nvidia will significantly surpass forecasts again and if the guidance for the upcoming quarters will be revised upward accordingly. Investors will find out the answer after the cash session closes on Wall Street.
