Part 5/11:
Looking ahead, the week is packed with economic indicators and policy speeches. Tuesday is a quiet day with only Veterans Day observances and a speech from Fed Governor Michael Barr. Wednesday features several speeches from Federal Reserve officials and the release of key reports—initial jobless claims, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and core CPI, which the presenter estimates should hover around 2.5%, possibly slightly higher at nearly 3%, indicating moderate inflation.
