Today's economic releases will be closely watched as markets navigate escalating US-China trade tensions and the global market selloff. With Asian stocks plummeting and technology shares under pressure following Nvidia's decline, investors will focus on the crucial PCE inflation report that could influence Fed rate cut expectations. European economic data including French and German figures will provide insight into the region's economic health, while UK housing data came in higher than expected. Central bank commentary may offer additional guidance amid the volatile trading environment.
