Wednesday’s (tomorrow) FOMC Minutes at 2:00 pm EST and Friday’s (in 3 days) Core PCE and GDP at 8:30 am EST are the primary volatility drivers. Watch Thursday’s jobless claims at 8:30 am EST for labor market health. Traders should tighten stops during these high-impact windows and use the minutes to gauge Fed hawkishness. Expect heavy $SPY and $DXY movement as markets digest inflation data and S&P Global PMIs at 9:45 am EST on Friday.
