What To Expect in the Markets This Week Coming up: PCE inflation, GDP revisions, consumer confidence, housing data; earnings from Nvidia, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Salesforce, Stellantis, Dell

• Nvidia’s scheduled earnings report on Wednesday comes amid uncertainty about the outlook for AI spending.

• Investors will also be watching for results from Home Depot, Lowe’s, Salesforce, and Jeep-maker Stellantis.

• Federal Reserve officials will be scrutinizing the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, scheduled for release Friday, amid concerns that progress on inflation has stalled.

• Updates on the housing market, consumer confidence, the trade balance, and gross domestic product are also expected this week.

Inflation data and corporate earnings highlight the weekly economic calendar for investors. Nvidia’s (NVDA) report, slated for Wednesday, is its first since China’s DeepSeek sent the tech stock reeling. Investors are also watching for updates from Salesforce (CRM), Lowe’s (LOW), Home Depot (HD), and Chrysler parent Stellantis (STLA).

Friday’s release of the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index will give Federal Reserve officials more data about inflation’s path in January. Market watchers are also looking for expected updates to U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), the housing market, consumer confidence, and the U.S. trade balance.
