High-impact S&P Global PMI data arrives in 4 days on Tuesday at 9:45 am. The main event occurs next Thursday at 8:30 am with Core PCE—the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge—alongside GDP. Expect volatility during Fed speeches by Williams at 3:40 pm and Goolsbee at 6:30 pm Thursday. Traders should watch for a "risk-off" move if PCE exceeds forecasts, as it would delay easing. Use tight stops around the 8:30 am Thursday window.
