Financial markets face one of the busiest weeks of the year, with the Federal Reserve’s policy decision, earnings from four tech giants that together account for roughly 17% of the S&P 500, key inflation data, and Middle East developments all in focus. The Fed concludes its two-day meeting on Wednesday, with markets pricing a 66% probability that rates stay in the 3.5% to 3.75% range, though some FOMC members may still back a hike amid oil-driven inflation concerns. Microsoft and Meta report after Wednesday’s close, followed by Apple and Amazon on Thursday, and investors will scrutinize AI spending updates as rising capex pressures cash flows. Thursday’s core PCE index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, is forecast to rise to 3.3% annually, while Friday’s Employment Cost Index is expected to hold at 3.4%. Brent crude fell to around $91 a barrel after the US and Iran paused military strikes for a second day, easing supply disruption fears that had briefly pushed prices above $100.
