CNBC’s ‘Mad Money’ host Jim Cramer provides his expert analysis of the key market-moving events scheduled for next week. These events have the potential to significantly impact investor sentiment and drive market volatility.
One of the most closely watched events will be the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data on Tuesday. The CPI is a key measure of inflation, and its release will provide insights into the current trajectory of price pressures in the economy. Investors will be closely monitoring this data for signs of cooling inflation, which could give the Federal Reserve some breathing room to slow down the pace of interest rate hikes.
Another significant event next week will be the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, which is scheduled to take place on Wednesday. At this meeting, the Fed is expected to announce its latest decision on interest rates. The market consensus is that the Fed will raise interest rates by 25 basis points, but there is some uncertainty about the Fed’s future policy path. Investors will be listening closely to the Fed’s statements for any clues about the pace and magnitude of future rate hikes.
In addition to these macroeconomic events, there are also several major earnings reports scheduled for next week. Some of the most notable companies reporting earnings include Apple, Amazon, and Alphabet. These earnings reports will provide insights into the performance of some of the largest and most influential companies in the world, and they could have a significant impact on the overall market sentiment.
