Markets are bracing for tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index and the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey — two key reports that could shape the Fed’s September decision. 📊 Here’s what you need to know: Core PCE is forecast at +0.3% — the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge. UoM sentiment holds at 58.6, but inflation expectations are the real wildcard. A hot Core PCE reading means rate cuts are off the table, keeping pressure on the NASDAQ and growth stocks. A soft Core PCE number could fuel a rally in equities and gold as traders price in Fed easing. UoM inflation expectations will add color on how households view the inflation path forward. --- Market Impact by Asset: Equities: NASDAQ most sensitive → hot data hurts tech, soft data fuels rally. Bonds: 2-year yields react first → hotter print spikes yields, soft print drops them. Forex: USD stronger on hot inflation, weaker on soft data. Commodities: Gold dips if inflation stays sticky, pops if easing looks likely. --- 🔔 Subscribe to The Rod Reports for daily updates where money meets news. 👍 Like this video, share your thoughts in the comments, and let’s hear your take on what Powell should do next. #CorePCE #Fed #NASDAQ #Markets #Powell #Inflation #RodReports --- ______ PROMOTIONS HERE: ⤵ 💹 Webull: https://a.webull.com/m... ______ FIND JAZ ROD HERE: ⤵ 🎥 Instagram: http://bit.ly/2eBlboo 🚀 facebook: http://bit.ly/2fe8r8a 🐔 Twitter: http://bit.ly/2eBlfUQ ______ SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES HERE: ⤵ ➡️ _____ 📝 LEGAL DISCLAIMER 📝 This video or description does not constitute personalized financial, legal, investment, real estate, or trading advice.
