As we head into the upcoming week, the market’s focus will be heavily on tariffs, especially following President Trump’s recent exemptions for smartphones. Analysts predict a potential rally on Monday but maintain a bearish outlook in the medium term. Essential data releases are anticipated, including US Retail Sales, Building Permits, Housing Starts, China’s GDP, and interest rate decisions from the Bank of Canada and the European Central Bank, alongside Japan’s inflation data. Investors should prepare for a week filled with critical information that could influence market trends significantly.
