US CPI Data Release, Fed Decisions Expected Next Week

This week is poised to be significant for economic data announcements, particularly in the U.S. where the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for February is expected to reveal a cooling in price growth. Analysts predict that the U.S. CPI will show a modest increase of 0.27% for the month, while core inflation may also ease, impacting Federal Reserve policy discussions. In addition, the Bank of Canada is expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points amid concerns over the economic slowdown due to U.S. tariffs. Other key data releases include the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) and consumer sentiment surveys. Across the Atlantic, Germany’s inflation is believed to have stabilized, contributing to a quieter week for market movements. Amidst these developments, Oracle's upcoming earnings report is also attracting attention, following a significant decline in its stock price.
