High volatility starts Monday at 10:00 am with the ISM Services PMI, crucial for assessing growth. Wednesday at 2:00 pm brings the FOMC Minutes, offering insight into the Fed's rate path amid recent hawkish comments from officials. Tuesday features speeches from Williams and Bowman starting at 9:05 am. Finally, Friday at 10:00 am sees Michigan Consumer Sentiment and inflation expectations. Traders should watch for USD fluctuations and Treasury yield shifts following these high-impact releases.
Prepare for sharp moves in equity indices on Wednesday afternoon; tighten stop-losses ahead of the FOMC Minutes. Monitor the ISM data on Monday for signs of cooling in the services sector to gauge recessionary risks.
