FOMC preview — what the dots say

Two prints frame the week: the FOMC decision and core CPI. Everything else — claims, retail sales, regional surveys — reads as texture around them.

1. Wednesday 14:00 ET — FOMC statement; dot plot the tell.
2. Thursday 08:30 ET — core CPI; consensus 0.3% m/m.
3. Friday 10:00 ET — Univ. Michigan sentiment, 5-yr inflation expectations watch.
