Next Week’s Macroeconomic Outlook: The US and Iran, Russia and Ukraine Could Enter a Key Window for Peace Talks, as Waller Officially Assumes the Chair of the Federal Reserve
BlockBeats News, May 10. This week, major signs of peace have emerged in both the US-Iran conflict and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, significantly easing geopolitical risks. Next week, whether the two geopolitical conflicts can further cool down is worth close attention. In addition, next week’s macroeconomic events will focus on the United States’ April CPI data, as detailed below:
Tuesday at 15:15, FOMC permanent voting member and New York Fed President Williams takes part in a panel discussion on monetary policy;
Tuesday at 20:15, the weekly change in US ADP employment figures for the week through April 25;
Tuesday at 20:30, US April CPI data;
Wednesday at 04:30, US API crude oil inventories for the week ending May 8;
Wednesday at 20:30, US April PPI year-over-year and month-over-month rates;
Friday at 05:30, Fed Governor Barr delivers remarks;
Friday at 21:15, US April industrial production monthly rate.
Finally, next week the Federal Reserve will face major personnel changes. The incoming chair, Kevin W. Woch, is expected to be confirmed by the Senate on Monday, and will officially take over from Powell on May 15.
As for US stocks, as of this Friday, a new round of surge has pushed the S&P 500 Index to rise by 8% cumulatively in 2026. Building on two consecutive years of double-digit returns over the past three years, it continues to climb. The Nasdaq Composite Index, led mainly by tech stocks, is up nearly 13% year-to-date. Both major indices have hit record highs. Although the Q1 earnings season is nearing its end, corporate reports in the coming days will still be a key driver of stock prices.
