With markets weighing potential tariff-driven inflation, Core PPI arrives in 2 days on Friday at 8:30 am EST, followed by ISM Manufacturing PMI Monday at 10:00 am EST and ADP employment next Wednesday at 8:15 am EST. Fed speakers Barkin today, Wednesday, and Bowman tomorrow (Thursday) at 10:00 am EST will likely address rate concerns. Traders should watch for hawkish commentary to bolster the dollar; defensive positioning in $SPY is advised ahead of these high-volatility releases.
