The Federal Reserve is set to enter its pre-September meeting blackout period this week, shifting investor focus to incoming inflation data and the European Central Bank’s rate decision. According to BlockBeats, the key items on the calendar include a Monday closure for U.S. and Canadian stock markets due to the U.S. Labor Day holiday, followed by a heavy Thursday slate.
ECB President Christine Lagarde is scheduled to speak at an official Bundesbank dinner at 1:00 Beijing time on Thursday. Apple is also due to hold its fall product launch at the same time, under the theme 「亮新篇，来耀眼」. Later that day, the ECB will release its interest rate decision at 20:15, and Lagarde will hold a monetary policy press conference at 20:30.
The U.S. data calendar will also be closely watched. On Thursday at 20:30, markets will get weekly initial jobless claims for the week ending Sept. 5, along with August PPI figures on both a yearly and monthly basis. On Friday at 20:30, the U.S. will publish August CPI and core CPI year-over-year readings, as well as seasonally adjusted monthly CPI and core CPI data. Oracle (ORCL.N) is due to report after the U.S. market closes on Thursday, a release BlockBeats said could matter for the current AI trading theme as the cloud provider continues to spend heavily on AI data center construction.
