March should prove to be an exciting month for the markets as it will be data-heavy with employment and inflation updates set to be released around the Ides of March. The next employment report will be on Friday, March 10, followed by CPI data on March 14 and PPI and Retail sales data on March 15. Each of these datasets will “betray” what’s happening with inflation – and we know that the Fed will be watching in the wings, anticipating its next move. Et tu, Mr. Powell?
