Over the weekend
Posts circulating among traders on X, described here only as commentary and not as confirmed fact, suggest debate over whether technology and semiconductor stocks can hold recent gains following choppy trading earlier in the week that pushed volatility higher. Traders are also said to be framing Monday as a calmer session ahead of Tuesday, when fresh inflation figures are expected to shape views on where the Federal Reserve takes interest rates next, particularly after a recent jobs report came in strong.
On Monday's calendar
Monday's US economic calendar is light on data but heavy on Federal Reserve commentary. Fed Governor Michelle Bowman is scheduled to speak at 8:40 AM ET, followed by Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee at 10:00 AM ET and Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin at 12:15 PM ET, all flagged as medium-impact events with no consensus forecast or prior reading attached.
