Скачать или смотреть Inflation Data, Oracle’s $455B Backlog, and NATO Tensions: Stock Market Weekly Summary Today

Last week brought a sharp mix of market-moving headlines: inflation data, gold’s breakout, Oracle’s $455 billion cloud backlog, and NATO tensions.

The August CPI and PPI releases pointed to softer price pressures, fueling expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut. Traders are now pricing multiple cuts through 2025. Gold hit record highs as investors looked for safety against sticky inflation and fiscal risks.

Oracle was the corporate standout, surprising markets with massive cloud backlog growth tied to AI infrastructure deals. At the same time, geopolitical risks flared when Russian drones neared NATO airspace, forcing Poland to scramble jets and reminding investors of defense and energy vulnerabilities.

The Fed’s September meeting now takes center stage, with markets expecting the first rate cut since 2022. Powell’s comments will shape whether two or three cuts get priced in by year-end. Global central banks, U.S. jobs data, and GDP revisions will also play key roles in setting the tone for September trading.
