Macro Outlook for Next Week: Non-Farm Payrolls and CPI Data Ignite Gold-Dollar Showdown, Traders Face a "Hell Week"
PANews, February 7th - U.S. stocks rebounded on Friday after a plunge in some of Wall Street's most crowded trading sessions. The S&P 500 rose 2%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average touched 50,000 points for the first time. Earlier this week, the release of a new automated tool by artificial intelligence company Anthropic PBC triggered a sell-off in software, financial services, and asset management stocks, which then spread to the wider market. This scene is reminiscent of the market's reaction to the DeepSeek AI model in early 2025. Traders are preparing for a new week with retail sales data, the delayed January U.S. nonfarm payroll report, and CPI inflation data. Here are the key points the market will be focusing on this week:
At 2:30 AM on Tuesday, Federal Reserve Governor Waller will speak on digital assets;
At 04:15 on Tuesday, Atlanta Fed President Bostic, a 2027 FOMC voting member, will speak on monetary policy and the economic outlook.
At 01:00 on Wednesday, Hamak, a 2026 FOMC voting member and president of the Cleveland Federal Reserve, will speak on "Banking and Economic Outlook".
At 02:00 on Wednesday, Dallas Fed President Logan, a 2026 FOMC voting member, will deliver a speech;
At 08:00 on Friday, Dallas Fed President Logan, a 2026 FOMC voting member, delivered a welcome speech at an event, with Fed Governor Milan in attendance.
Uncertainty surrounding the outlook for Federal Reserve leadership has heightened market caution, raising questions about the future direction of policy. The market is currently reassessing the timing of potential rate cuts, with expectations for a June rate cut growing stronger.
