Biggest Earnings Week of the Season!

It’s a massive week for earnings, with 102 companies reporting. Key names include Visa, Procter & Gamble, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and ExxonMobil—making this one of the biggest weeks of the season, especially for tech. On the data front, all eyes are on U.S. jobs and inflation. JOLTS job openings drop Tuesday, followed by ADP employment (Wed), jobless claims (Thu), and the all-important unemployment rate and non-farm payrolls Friday (expected uptick from 4.1% to 4.2%).

Wednesday is packed: GDP (expected 2.5%) and the FOMC rate decision (likely hold at 5.25%). Fed Chair Powell’s press conference 30 minutes later will be closely watched. Canada and Japan are also expected to hold rates steady.

Thursday brings Core PCE inflation data, expected to rise to 0.3%, a potential concern for rate cuts. The Fed remains data-dependent, and with pressure from inflation and political dynamics, the September rate outlook is uncertain. Markets may react sharply—especially forex and equities.
