Monday Morning Must-Knows: June 14, 2021

Well, earnings season has slowed way down but, there are a couple companies reporting whose earnings may have been significantly impacted by recent inflationary pressure on the price of the commodities they rely on. Speaking of inflation, this week we get yet another key report on inflation in the U.S. That is followed the next day by a report from the Federal Reserve on economic projections and the Fed Fund rate.

Perhaps even more significantly, after the report is released, there will be a press conference where comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell have the potential to move the markets as his assessment of the situation and actions he is considering, are likely to be made public.

All of this could make for some great trading opportunities this week.
