Stock Market Today: CPI, Fed Meeting
The May consumer price index and the Federal Reserve meeting take the spotlight in this week's economic data.
Wednesday's CPI is expected to show another 0.3% increase in core prices. And the Fed policy update and new economic projections are also due Wednesday. The last set of Fed projections released in March showed policymakers led by Chair Jerome Powell narrowly backing three quarter-point rate cuts in 2024, with a hawkish minority favoring two cuts. The same kind of division may be evident in the new projections, but with more dovish members now backing two rate cuts and the hawks bent on a single rate cut.
Elsewhere, big earnings reports this week include Adobe, Broadcom and Oracle.
