Wall Street has a fairly busy week to look forward to, with plenty of Federal Reserve speakers on the docket, a host of economic data, and some quarterly earnings.
The Fed finally cut interest rates after nearly nine months of inaction on monetary policy. Market participants will get a chance to hear more on the decision from a host of speakers this week, including Chair Jerome Powell, newly appointed Governor Stephen Miran, and Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman.
Turning to the economic calendar, on Thursday, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the third and final estimate of Q2 GDP growth. That will be followed by the August personal income and outlays release on Friday – a report that will also contain a reading on the core personal consumption expenditures price index, a measure widely seen as the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge.
Looking at earnings, memory chipmaker Micron Technology (MU) will highlight the names reporting this week.

For retirees and income-focused investors, AWP provides the best of both worlds: steady, reliable cash flow today and strong potential upside tomorrow.
