Investors await consumer-price data on Wednesday that could set expectations for how the Federal Reserve will approach monetary policy at its coming meetings. In recent weeks, better-than-expected corporate earnings and strong labor-market data have eased concerns about an imminent U.S. recession, helping stock markets rebound from their lows.
With inflation running at a multidecade high, investors say Wednesday’s consumer-price index update will be key to the outlook for rates and the direction of the market.
“The market has enjoyed a risk-on environment since the lows of mid-June, and investors interpreted Chair Powell as more dovish than he had hoped at the last Federal Reserve meeting,” said Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist for LPL Financial. “But today’s market is tomorrow’s market—Wednesday’s inflation data will provide a clearer picture as to whether this bear market is truly behind us.”
