In the past week, the impact of the Federal Reserve meeting was mixed, and its inclusion of stagflation risks in the latest economic forecast seemed to contradict Fed Chairman Powell's assurances of economic resilience. Meanwhile, with the deadline for Trump's broad reciprocal tariffs (April 2nd) imminent, these factors have caused global financial markets to be turbulent. Here are the key points the market will focus on in the new week: Monday 21:45, US February S&P Global Manufacturing and Services PMI Final Value; Tuesday 21:05, FOMC Permanent Voting Member, New York Fed President Williams to deliver opening remarks at an event; Tuesday 22:00, US March Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, US March Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index; Thursday 1:10, 2025 FOMC Voting Member, St. Louis Fed President Musalem to give a speech; Thursday 20:30, US Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending March 22nd; Thursday 20:30, US Q4 Real GDP Annualized Quarter-on-Quarter Final Value, Real Personal Consumption Expenditure Quarter-on-Quarter Final Value, Core PCE Price Index Annualized Quarter-on-Quarter Final Value; Friday 20:30, US February Core PCE Price Index Year-on-Year, Personal Spending Month-on-Month, Core PCE Price Index Month-on-Month. Although the Fed says it is not in a hurry to cut rates, the market expects a more dovish stance. Investors believe the Fed is likely to cut rates three times this year, as they bet the economic slowdown will exceed the Fed's expectations, which means economic growth data may become the focus in the coming months.
