WEEK AHEAD
Markets head into the week with volatility still elevated but slightly calmer than earlier in the month, as investors digest a mixed backdrop of strong U.S. jobs data and softer-than-expected inflation, which has muddied expectations for near-term Fed policy moves. The week features a heavy global data slate, Thursday brings U.S. jobless claims and the Philly Fed index, while Friday is packed with flash PMIs across major economies and important U.S. releases, including GDP and Core PCE, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge. Lunar New Year closures across Asia may reduce liquidity and amplify market swings, while investors also watch for shifts in global growth momentum.
