On the macro data front, Thursday 20:30, US initial jobless claims for the week ending September 20, US Q2 final GDP annualized rate, US Q2 final real personal consumption expenditure rate, US Q2 final core PCE price index annualized rate, US August durable goods orders. Friday 22:00, US September University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index final value, US September one-year inflation rate expectation final value will be announced.
Market views believe that after the Fed's decision, the market focus will return to inflation data, and next week investors' attention will completely shift to the Fed's favored inflation indicator - the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE). The inflation data released next week may confirm whether the Fed's decision to cut rates this fall was wise. Economists generally predict that August PCE will show that the inflation level is picking up again.
