This week isn't about a single inflation report.
It's about the Fed's preferred inflation gauge landing on the same day as Nvidia earnings, before Jackson Hole takes over the back half of the week.
(Forecasts vs previous data below, actuals will drive the move)
Treasury Sets An Early Tone
Markets open the week with early commentary from the Treasury ahead of a heavy data and earnings calendar.
Consumer Confidence Checked
A steady read on consumer confidence sets the tone before Wednesday's inflation and growth data.
Inflation, Growth And Nvidia Collide
This is the key day of the week.
- Core PCE → the Fed's preferred inflation gauge
- Prelim GDP → confirmation of growth momentum
- Australian CPI → early inflation signal into the session
- Nvidia earnings → macro meets equities
Inflation, growth, and earnings collide.
Jackson Hole Begins
Labour data provides a final checkpoint before central bankers gather for Jackson Hole.
Jackson Hole Takes Centre Stage
Warsh speaks from Jackson Hole as markets close the week weighing consumer sentiment against a substantial payrolls revision, with the symposium continuing into Saturday.
Central Bank Backdrop, Rates Remain Restrictive
Interest rate divergence continues to shape capital flows across global markets.
The Bigger Picture
- Core PCE remains the week's most important inflation release
- Jackson Hole will shape forward guidance into the autumn
- Nvidia earnings test whether equity strength can hold alongside macro data
- The payrolls revision adds a fresh layer of uncertainty to the labour market picture
Everything builds into inflation vs growth vs policy.
Actual data vs expectations = the move.
