Next week brings a relatively quiet earnings calendar, keeping the market’s focus on incoming economic data and whether recent strength in equities can hold after the Fed’s more hawkish messaging. Early-week attention will center on Tuesday’s preliminary manufacturing and services PMIs, along with ADP weekly employment data.

Housing will move into focus midweek with new home sales and mortgage purchase applications, offering another read on whether lower oil prices and easing yields are helping sentiment. Earnings remain limited, though FedEx, KB Home, Paychex, Micron, Darden Restaurants, McCormick, and TD SYNNEX should draw some attention.

Thursday is the key macro day, with Core PCE inflation, durable goods, personal income, spending, and the second GDP revision all due. The week closes with preliminary wholesale inventories and final University of Michigan sentiment, giving investors another look at consumer confidence and inflation expectations.
