- Core PCE was 0.2% monthly and 3.0% annually, supporting hopes the Fed may delay rate increases.
- Q2 GDP was revised to 2.2% versus 1.5% expected, reinforcing the growth backdrop; major U.S. index futures also rose after the data.
- Micron reports after the close, keeping AI-memory stocks in focus; softer inflation and easing rate concerns remain the clearest broad catalyst.
