What to Watch Today
Market participants will immediately digest the upcoming Consumer Confidence metrics to gauge late-cycle consumer resilience. Revisions to first-quarter real GDP and the accompanying PCE price index components are poised to drive the next major shift in rate expectations. Any deviations from consensus in these inflation proxies will likely inject elevated volatility into short-duration fixed income and interest-rate-sensitive equities across the tape.
