Additional Notes:

  • Federal Reserve Activity: Fed speakers may provide commentary throughout the week (times TBD), potentially influencing rate expectations following the CPI and PPI data.

  • Market Context: The CPI report on March 11 is likely the week’s centerpiece, as it could drive volatility in equities, bonds, and the dollar depending on whether inflation aligns with, exceeds, or falls below expectations. Strong earnings from tech (e.g., Adobe) or retail (e.g., Dick’s, Kohl’s) could offset or amplify macro-driven moves.

  • Unconfirmed Earnings: Some companies may shift their reporting dates; for instance, Broadcom (AVGO) recently reported on March 6, 2025, but others like Oracle (ORCL) or FedEx (FDX) could appear this week if their fiscal calendars align—check closer to the date for updates.


This lineup reflects events and companies with potential market impact based on economic significance or sector prominence.
