What events will you be watching in the coming week?
Surely the Fed's question for all the money is will the US go into recession or even stagflation? What does the Fed say? For now, I have only a pithy quote from today's WSJ
Fed policymakers are alternatively referred to as inflation-fighting "hawks" or labor-market-defending "doves." Right now, Powell looks more like a duck-calm on the surface while constantly paddling beneath murky waters.😂
Wednesday's Fed decision will be the most important and it will be interesting to see how stocks react.
I will definitely be interested in the results of $NKE and $MU. $MU had a few problems, so I'm interested to see how they did last quarter.
