The key events to watch this week:

Tuesday, August 25, 10:00 AM ET | U.S. Consumer Confidence

The release will show whether high interest rates and persistent inflation are further weakening U.S. consumers—and whether household expectations still support the soft-landing narrative.

Wednesday, August 26, 8:30 AM ET | July PCE, Second-Quarter GDP Revision and Durable Goods Orders

This is the week’s most concentrated macro data window. PCE will shape expectations for the Fed’s rate path, while GDP and durable goods orders will test the strength of economic growth and business investment.

Wednesday, August 26, 4:20 PM ET | Nvidia Q2 FY2027 Earnings

Nvidia is expected to release results at approximately 4:20 PM ET, followed by its earnings call at 5:00 PM ET. The key variables are AI compute demand, hyperscaler CapEx, the Blackwell ramp and whether higher memory and supply-chain costs are beginning to pressure margins.

Thursday, August 27, 4:45 PM ET | Marvell Q2 FY2027 Earnings Call

Watch whether demand for custom AI silicon, data center networking and memory infrastructure is translating into stronger revenue growth—and whether the company raises its forward guidance.

August 27–29 | Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium

This year’s theme is “Financial Innovation: Implications for Payments and Policy.” Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will deliver the keynote address on Friday, August 28 at 10:00 AM ET, with markets focused on his assessment of inflation and the path of monetary policy.

Friday, August 28, 10:00 AM ET | Preliminary Annual Benchmark Revision to U.S. Payroll Employment

The Bureau of Labor Statistics will use broader administrative employment records to reassess payroll growth through March 2026. A substantial downward revision could change the market’s view of U.S. labor-market strength and shift expectations for the Fed’s next moves.

Bottom line:

This week comes down to two questions—will the Fed lean more hawkish, and how much runway is left for AI demand?
