For investors interested in the European market, today’s economic calendar is relatively light. However, U.S. market investors will receive a few interesting releases in the afternoon, including the FOMC minutes from the last Fed meeting and speeches from Fed officials.
The most important event of the week remains tomorrow’s release of the U.S. CPI report. However, after the recent strong jobs report, today’s speeches from FOMC representatives may be just as intriguing. Currently, the market has almost completely abandoned the scenario of another 50 basis point cut at the November meeting. Today's speeches, including those from Logan, Goolsbee, Barkin, Jefferson, and Collins, may shed some light on how the Fed interprets the recent labor market data and how it might affect the next meeting’s decision.
