Economic data continues to be closely monitored by investors as they assess the current state of the economy and its potential impact on Federal Reserve monetary policy decisions. Recent data, including the S&P Global Flash manufacturing PMI for the U.S. in April, which came in at a four-month low of 49.9, has suggested a contraction in the sector, leading investors to believe that the economy may be experiencing some easing.
Despite concerns about elevated interest rates and persistent inflation, recent economic data has indicated resilience in the economy. Expectations for impending interest rate cuts by the Fed have shifted, raising questions about whether there will be fewer cuts than expected this year. More economic data is set to be released throughout the week, including durable goods orders, a first-quarter GDP reading, and the personal consumption expenditures price index.
