This week's market will be stirred by several major moves. Let's review day by day, as there are points worth paying attention to each day.
January 12 — The New York Fed releases the 1-year inflation expectation data. This reflects the general public's view on future prices. If everyone's expectations remain high and refuse to come down, the market will start to worry: will policy easing come too late? This is not good news for risk assets.
January 14 — The Federal Reserve Beige Book will be published. This summarizes the real economic picture across the country. Pay special attention to whether phrases like "weakening labor market" appear, to verify whether the previous non-farm payroll data is truly accurate.
January 15 — CPI data will be released. This is the key moment of the week. Keep an eye on whether "housing costs" can decrease as expected. If it doesn't, the shadow of inflation will still loom overhead, and market reactions could be intense. This day is most likely to show a clear direction.
January 16 — The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index preliminary release, and many major banks will also start releasing earnings reports. On this day, watch out for whether liquidity suddenly tightens around the options expiration, causing market volatility to spike.
In summary, this week is a thorough data week, and each piece of news could change market sentiment. Retail investors don't need to be led by every data point, but knowing in advance which days are key nodes and when volatility might increase will give you confidence. Be patient in your operations; wait until the market has digested the information before taking action, which will help you stay calm.
