What to Expect in the Markets Next Week
What to Expect in the Markets Next Week
U.S. equity markets tumbled this week, with the Dow briefly falling into bear market territory and closing at a new 2022 low as concerns about recession risks rose after the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates by 75 basis points (bps) to curb inflation. For the week, the Dow declined 4% and the S&P 500 shed 4.7%, while the Nasdaq contracted 5%. Treasury yields rose to their highest levels in over a decade. The inversion of the yield curve deepened, as the yield on the two-year note rose above 4.2%, in a sign of growing pessimism regarding the near-term health of the economy. Oil prices fell on Friday as global recession fears and a stronger dollar—which rose to multi-decade highs against the euro and pound—rattled global energy markets. The price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 5% to $79 per barrel, its lowest level since early January.
Investors can expect several key economic updates in the week ahead. On Tuesday, the latest reports on the housing market will become available, with the release of August new home sales and the S&P Case-Shiller Home Price Index for July. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) and the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index (MCSI) will offer updates on consumer sentiment. On Thursday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) will release its final estimate for second quarter GDP growth. The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, will arrive on Friday. Nike, Micron Technology, Carnival Corporation, and Bed Bath & Beyond will be among companies reporting earnings.
It’s also worth noting that next week is the final week of the third quarter, with Friday being the final trading day of September—historically one of the worst months of the year for stocks. Through 182 trading days so far this year, 2022 has seen the fifth-worst start of any year in history for U.S. equities.

Global Central Bank Policy Meetings
On Tuesday, S&P Global will release its latest Case-Shiller Home Price Index, tracking national home prices. Price growth is likely to have decelerated further in July, after prices rose a mere 0.4% in June—marking the slowest growth rate in two years. Home price growth peaked in March and has slowed since, as rising mortgage rates and declining affordability weigh on prospective buyers. Prices were up 18% in June from a year ago, with annual gains expected to decelerate as well. Also on Tuesday, mortgage originator Freddie Mac will release its House Price Index (HPI) for July. Prices had climbed 0.1% in June, the slowest gain since May of 2020, with annual price growth decelerating to an annual rate of 16.2%, down from a peak of 19.3% in February.
Consumer Confidence Readings
On Tuesday, The Conference Board (CB) will release the September update to its Consumer Confidence Index (CCI), which measures consumers’ optimism regarding their personal finances and state of the economy. Preliminary estimates are projecting a slight increase in consumer confidence, to 104 from 103.2 in August. The University of Michigan will release the final September reading of its Consumer Sentiment Index (MCSI) on Friday. Economists are projecting an unchanged index reading at 59.5, compared to 58.2 in August and an all-time low of 50 in June. Consumer sentiment improved slightly in early September, as gas prices fell and future inflation expectations moderated. However, the index remained near its all-time lows, as persistently high inflation continues to impact sentiment.
