Next week brings a series of key developments that could shape market direction. Investors will hear from several Federal Reserve officials, including Governor Michelle Bowman, who was the only dissenter in the recent 50-basis-point rate cut. Her remarks may shed light on internal disagreements within the central bank. On Wednesday, the release of the September meeting minutes will offer further clues about the Fed’s future policy path amid its current easing cycle. Market participants are also awaiting the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) data for September. Economists anticipate both indicators will reflect a continued downward trend in inflation, reinforcing the case for additional rate reductions. Earnings season kicks off with major financial institutions reporting results, including JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), BlackRock (BLK), and BNY Mellon (BK). These reports will be closely analyzed for signs of resilience in lending, asset management, and overall profitability. Meanwhile, labor negotiations between Boeing (BA) and the machinists’ union are set to resume Monday, potentially impacting production timelines and investor sentiment.
