Fundamental Report: On Tuesday the chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell will address the Senate Banking Committee marking the beginning of a two-day event. The following day Jerome Powell will testify to the House Financial Services Committee a semi-annual event. According to a press release by the Financial Services Committee they announced the following hearing notice, “Full Committee Hearing with Fed Chair Powell; Oversight & Investigations Subcommittee Hearing on Biden Administration’s Wasteful Spending and Regulatory Overreach”. Powell’s testimony will be followed by the Labor Department’s nonfarm payroll jobs report on Friday, March 10. According to FA-Mag.com (Financial Advisor), two Federal Reserve policymakers cautioned that the recent stronger-than-expected jobs report could push them to raise interest rates by more than previously expected. This is one of the primary reasons that next week’s jobs report, one of the last critical reports used by the Federal Reserve in their decisions for the upcoming March FOMC meeting will be key. The last major report to be released before the FOMC meeting is the CPI inflation index which will be released on March 14. These events most certainly will have a strong impact on the market sentiment of investors.
