The impact of the Fed meeting has been mixed over the past week, and its inclusion of stagflation risks in its latest economic forecasts seems to contradict Fed Chairman Powell’s assurance of economic stability. At the same time, with the imminent deadline for Trump to impose widespread reciprocal tariffs (April 2), these factors have led to turmoil in the global financial market. Here are the key points that the market will focus on in the new week: Monday at 21:45, the final value of the S&P Global Manufacturing and Services PMI in February; Tuesday at 21:05, the FOMC Permanent Voting Committee and New York Fed Chairman Williams delivered an opening speech at an event; Tuesday at 22:00, the US Consultative Chamber of Commerce Consumer Confidence Index and the US Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index; Thursday at 1:10, the 2025 FOMC Voting Committee and St. Louis Fed Chairman Mousalem delivered a speech; Thursday at 20:30, the number of initial unemployment claims in the week from March 22; At 20:30 on Thursday, the annualized quarterly rate of the US real GDP in the fourth quarter, the final value of the actual personal consumption expenditure quarterly rate, and the final value of the core PCE price index annualized quarterly rate; at 20:30 on Friday, the annualized quarterly rate of the US core PCE price index, personal expenditure monthly rate, and the monthly rate of the core PCE price index in February. Although the Fed said it was not in a hurry to cut interest rates, market expectations were more dovish. Investors believe the Fed is likely to cut interest rates three times this year, as it bets that the U.S. economy will slow down more than the Fed expects, meaning growth data may be the focus in the coming months.
