Wednesday features PPI at 8:30 am and the FOMC rate decision today at 2:00 pm. High volatility is expected during Powell’s 2:30 pm presser. Tomorrow, Thursday, brings jobless claims at 8:30 am, followed by Powell speaking Saturday at 10:30 am and Tuesday's PMI at 9:45 am. Traders should watch for hawkish "dot plot" shifts; if projections rise, expect USD strength and equity pressure. Monitor Tuesday's PMI for growth or inflation signals.
