In the upcoming week, Wall Street will focus on significant economic indicators, particularly the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index and the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which are crucial for assessing inflation trends. Additionally, crude oil prices are likely to be influenced by OPEC's decision to boost production starting in May, amid rising prices due to geopolitical tensions and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Following President Donald Trump's recent remarks on continued military action in the Middle East, a barrel of US crude has reached $111.54. Investors will also pay attention to the Federal Reserve's May policy meeting minutes and various economic reports, including personal income and expenditure figures for February. The earnings calendar includes reports from notable companies such as Delta Air Lines, Levi Strauss, and BlackBerry. Last week, US equities experienced slight gains, with the S&P 500 rising by 3.4%, marking its first winning week since the onset of the Iran conflict.
