Bigworld, Rickards says the Fed may be considering a rate cut at their next meeting (May 6, 7), so another data point for active traders to consider. Some key dates are emerging for the period ahead (below). Since the tariffs are only just beginning, their effects on the economic numbers may not become apparent for several months. So the main market moving events could be April 2, and May 6, 7, assuming no big surprises (yet) from the GDP, unemployment, CPI, PPI -
Mar 27 -- GDP number
April 2 -- Trump's 'Liberation Day', when the extent of the tariff policy is clarified, reciprocal aspects, etc.
April 4 -- Unemployment number
April 10 - CPI number
April 11 - PPI number
April 30 - GDP number
May 2 -- Unemployment number
May 6, 7 -- Fed meeting, decison on rate cuts, etc.
