🇺🇸 September 18: what could shake US stocks?
Tomorrow, the market will have several important events at once.
🕓 16:15 Kyiv time
US data for August is released:
• Industrial Production: forecast +0.3% m/m versus +0.2% previously
• Capacity Utilization: 76.4% versus 76.3%
📈 If the figures come in noticeably stronger than forecast, it could support the economic outlook, but at the same time raise expectations for rates → pressure on tech stocks.
📉 If the data are weaker, the opposite effect is possible: lower rate expectations could support the Nasdaq and the tech sector.

A speech by an FRS representative, Michelle Bowman. After yesterday’s rate hike to 3.75–4.00%, her remarks may give the market a new impetus. (Reuters)

Leading Indicators — forecast +0.2%. (MarketScreener Australia)
🕖 18:45
A speech by Jeff Schmid from the FRS.
⚠️ And one more factor: on September 18 there is quarterly Triple Witching, when a large volume of options and index futures expire simultaneously. This could increase trading volume and intraday volatility. (Trade Echo)
For NVDA, Nasdaq, and other technology stocks, the key time windows to watch are: 16:15 → 16:30 → 18:45.
It’s not necessary that the move will go in only one direction—tomorrow, the market’s reaction to the actual data and the Fed’s statements may be more important than the news itself.
