The stocks sank last week as lack of clarity about President Donald Trump’s introductory plans and what they could mean in the general track of the economy.

The nasdaq boat (^IXIC) led the losses, decreased about 3.5 %. NASDAC has now decreased more than 10 % of its last record in December and is in a correction.

Next week, the main updates about inflation will be, with new readings on the PPI price index and the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), as investors are looking for any evidence on how the definitions of the path affect the front. Updates about inflation forecasts and consumer morale are also on the calendar.

The job report came on Friday and went with some surprises. The American labor market added 151,000 jobs per month, slightly less than expectations, while the unemployment rate increased to 4.1 %. Economists have largely read the report as better than fear, given other signs of slowing economic growth.

The American economist at Bank of America Sherotoi, Mischer, described the report as “mostly signing.” The markets continue to pricing three discounts in interest rates from the Federal Reserve in 2025, for all Bloomberg data.

But the question that waves on the horizon remains on the market when the Federal Reserve reduces prices again. In a speech on Friday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said any other discounts are probably not imminent.

“We do not need to be in a hurry while we are in a good position to wait for greater clarity,” said Powell.

There will be no pronunciation next week, as the central bank enters the period of blackout before its next meeting from 18 to 19 March.

A new update is scheduled for the speed of price increases on Wednesday.

Economists in Wall Street expect the consumer price index in February an annual inflation by 2.9 %, a decrease from 3 % seen in January. Prices are expected to increase by 0.3 % on a monthly basis, for each economic expectations, less than an increase of 0.5 % in January.

On the basis of “basic”, which comes out of food and energy, the consumer price index is expected to increase by 3.2 % from last year in February, less than 3.3 % seen in January. It is expected that increases in the monthly basic prices will reach 0.3 %, less than 0.4 %. See the previous month.

Sarah House, economist at Wells Fargo, wrote in a memorandum to customers that the CPI print in February is expected to only provide “primary taste” for the effect of the expected tariff on inflation data.
