Wall Street braces for inflation data and five key earnings
Investors face a busy week as U.S. consumer and producer inflation reports arrive alongside quarterly results from Constellation Energy, Applied Materials, Skydance and other closely watched companies. The data will test whether recent price pressures have eased and guide Federal Reserve rate expectations. Housing starts and jobless claims round out the economic calendar. Markets are pricing in a shift toward slower hikes but remain sensitive to surprises.
Why it matters
The inflation prints are the first major gauges since the Fed signaled patience on further tightening. Earnings from energy, semiconductor and media firms will show how higher rates are filtering into corporate profits. A hotter-than-expected CPI or PPI could reignite rate-hike fears and pressure equities.
