Markets begin the week still adjusting to Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole remarks, which pushed rate expectations higher and left September hike odds around 55–60%. Top‑tier U.S. data — Consumer Confidence, ISM Manufacturing, JOLTS and the ISM Services PMI — arrive before Friday’s Nonfarm Payrolls (Reuters poll +45,000), and will be parsed for signs of persistent wage and price pressure. With the 10‑year near 4.73% and the 2‑year around 4.36%, the data flow will determine whether the Fed’s higher‑for‑longer narrative solidifies or loosens.  

Secondary themes include a tech and retail earnings slate that could clarify demand dynamics: Broadcom (consensus EPS $3.24, Yahoo Finance) will be watched for AI‑accelerator orders and networking backlog, while Dell’s report will test AI‑server momentum versus a patchy PC market and Lululemon will offer a gauge of discretionary resilience into the fall. The Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology conference (Wed–Fri) adds fresh colour on AI accelerator demand and enterprise IT budgets. Bond markets — where coverage from Reuters and the Wall Street Journal highlights recent yield repricing — will amplify any upside data surprises. The week ahead is a referendum on the Fed’s hawkish turn: do jobs and ISMs validate higher‑for‑longer, or cool just in time?
