Soaring Treasury yields and tech valuation concerns<\/em><\/strong> have heavily stifled risk appetite across global markets. Traders are now pivoting to vital macroeconomic data to gauge the next Federal Reserve policy move. Upcoming <\/em>US PCE<\/em><\/strong>, <\/em>consumer confidence<\/em><\/strong> and <\/em>US<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>GDP<\/em><\/strong> readings will dictate if restrictive monetary conditions persist.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49<\/strong><\/strong> US CB Consumer Confidence – 16:00, Tuesday (CEST)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forecast at 90.3 after a previous 90.8 reading. A soft print will directly test dollar resilience and highlight underlying economic concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49<\/strong><\/strong> US PCE Price Index – 14:30, Wednesday (CEST)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The preferred inflation gauge of the Fed is forecast at 0.1% following a 0.1% contraction prior. A hotter print will rapidly reprice rate bets hawkishly and lift the US dollar, whilst a soft reading could support equities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49<\/strong><\/strong> US GDP – 14:30, Wednesday (CEST)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The definitive growth read is expected to remain unchanged. Any unexpected deviation will aggressively move Treasury yields and dictate broader cross-asset sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
