But we are here to help.
The week ahead is packed with market-moving events, headlined by the Federal Reserve’s June policy meeting, updated economic projections, and a busy slate of housing data.
While the Fed is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged, investors will be closely watching the updated rate forecasts and Chair Kevin Warsh’s post-meeting press conference for clues on the path forward.
Federal Reserve Decision (WED) 🏦
The Fed is expected to keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.75%.
However, the biggest focus will be the updated “dot plot” projections, which could signal a more hawkish outlook following the recent reacceleration in inflation.
Expectations:
Fed Funds Rate: 3.75% (unchanged)
Median year-end rate projection expected to rise to 3.63%
Previous median projection: 3.38%
Investors looking for confirmation of a higher-for-longer policy stance
Chair Kevin Warsh’s press conference will likely be the most closely watched event of the week.
Housing Data Remains in Focus 🏡
MONDAY: NAHB Homebuilder Sentiment
Expected: 37
Builder confidence remains under pressure as elevated mortgage rates continue weighing on affordability and demand.
TUESDAY: Housing Starts & Building Permits
Expected: 1.4 million annualized rate
Both metrics are expected to remain relatively stable and near levels considered neutral from a supply-demand perspective.
WEDNESDAY: Pending Home Sales
Expected: +1.0% month-over-month
While still positive, the pace would represent a modest slowdown from April’s 1.4% increase.
Retail Sales (WED) 🛒
Retail Sales will provide an important look at the health of the U.S. consumer.
Expectations:
Retail Sales: +0.5% month-over-month
Matches April’s gain of +0.5%
A stronger-than-expected report would reinforce the view that consumer spending remains resilient despite elevated inflation expectations and weak consumer sentiment readings.

Bottom Line ✅

Meanwhile, housing and retail sales data will provide important insight into whether consumers and the broader economy are continuing to hold up despite persistent inflation and elevated interest rates.
