The upcoming week, from March 10 to March 14, 2025, is set to feature several significant economic events and corporate earnings releases that could influence financial markets.
Next week’s inflation reports and consumer confidence data will be critical in shaping expectations around Federal Reserve policy, while earnings from companies like Oracle, Adobe, and Lennar will offer insight into tech, software, and housing sectors.
