The Week Ahead

There are no company earnings or events on the calendar for Blaize next week. On the macro side, the US publishes the Empire State manufacturing index on Tuesday (15 September), followed on Wednesday (16 September) by retail sales, retail sales ex-autos, import prices, the NAHB housing market index, and EIA crude oil inventories. Retail sales are forecast at 0.9% after a prior -0.6%, making them a key read on consumer resilience. These numbers could shift overall risk appetite and, in turn, trading activity in small-cap growth names.
