The upcoming week will see a release of various economic indicators including updated inflation data, consumer sentiment reports, housing data, and comments from Federal Reserve officials. On Friday, the February Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index will be released, along with reports on consumer sentiment and housing sales and prices. Additionally, Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) and gross domestic product (GDP) data will be in focus. Federal Reserve officials, led by New York Fed President John Williams, are also scheduled to speak.

Corporate events, such as GameStop earnings and reports from companies like Chewy, Dollar Tree, Lululemon, and Oklo, will be monitored closely by market observers.

The fresh inflation data for February is expected to show an acceleration in price pressures for the year, according to Federal Reserve officials.

Following recent declines in the inflation rate, the Fed decided to keep interest rates unchanged during its last meeting. Despite this, the Fed's projections anticipate inflation exceeding the 2.5% annual rate recorded in January by 2025.

Consumer sentiment surveys will be closely watched as they have indicated decreasing confidence among consumers, small business owners, manufacturers, and homebuilders. Data releases for the S&P Case-Shiller home price index for January, new home sales data for February, and pending home sales data for February are scheduled this week.

New York Fed President John Williams, Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin, and Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic are expected to provide insights following Fed Chair Jerome Powell's recent comments.

Earnings reports from GameStop, Dollar Tree, Lululemon, and others are anticipated this week, highlighting various companies' financial performances and growth strategies.
