Economic calendar: US retail sales and PPI data in focus on Wall Street 🗽

Today, markets will focus on the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on tariffs, U.S. retail sales, and U.S. PPI inflation data. Investors are also awaiting earnings from major U.S. banks (Wells Fargo, Citibank, Bank of America) as well as multiple speeches from Federal Reserve officials (Paulson, Kashkari, Bostic, Williams). The European macro calendar is very light today, meaning market attention is shifting almost entirely toward the afternoon U.S. releases. In addition, delegations from the U.S. administration are expected to meet with representatives of the Greenlandic authorities today.
