Investors watch Nvidia earnings and key inflation data this week
The week also includes Chicago Fed national activity data, Conference Board consumer confidence, and University of Michigan inflation expectations ahead of the Fed’s next rate decision.
Investors are set for another busy five-day stretch as markets digest mixed recent retail earnings, higher bond yields, and a surprise Treasury intervention, with attention shifting to Nvidia’s earnings and upcoming inflation readings. Nvidia is scheduled to report on Wednesday, a focus that Yahoo Finance frames as a test of the “comeback” AI trade that has supported parts of Big Tech. The rest of the week’s earnings calendar includes DICK’S Sporting Goods on Tuesday, followed by Five Below, Urban Outfitters, and Bath & Body Works on Wednesday, and Ulta Beauty on Thursday. On the economic front, the Chicago Fed will release the national activity index to start the week, while Tuesday brings the Conference Board’s consumer confidence surveys. On Wednesday, investors will look to the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the PCE price index, and the University of Michigan will follow with consumer surveys covering inflation expectations and broader economic conditions, developments expected to inform the Fed ahead of its September policy meeting. The outlook for the broader market is also shaped by the fact that the final “Magnificent Seven” report arrives on Wednesday, with prior tech earnings described as mixed after Microsoft and Amazon helped ease some concerns around the payoff from AI spending.
