Investors await inflation data and major earnings reports

This week, investors will focus on new inflation data and earnings reports from major companies. The Consumer Price Index, due Wednesday, will indicate if inflation eased in February. Other key reports include jobs data and consumer sentiment surveys. Tech companies Oracle and Adobe will report earnings, along with retailers like Dick’s Sporting Goods and Ulta Beauty. These results may reflect current retail sales amid concerns about tariffs and consumer confidence. Additionally, CoreWeave, a cloud computing firm backed by Nvidia, may go public this week in a significant initial public offering.
