The Week Ahead In Crypto: Powell’s Speech Looms Along With Big Tech Earnings, PPI Inflation Data, JOLTS

Ben Graham · Dezembro 8

The Federal Reserve will hold its final policy meeting of 2025 this week. The market is heavily leaning towards a 0.25% rate cut on Wednesday, 10 December 2025 – the third cut that would take the rate to 3.5% – 3.75% target range. Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference after Wednesday’s decision is expected to be critical for markets. Bank of America said that it expects Powell to hint at “reserve management purchases.”

Anxiety grips markets ahead of Powell’s speech.

Is the move driven by labor-market worries rather than by a clean victory over inflation?

If Powell goes for a rate cut, it would be the third straight cut, despite incomplete economic data due to a government shut down that delayed key reports, including the latest jobs numbers.

Big Tech Earnings OTW

And what are the other catalysts? Major tech names report results with a heavy focus on AI infrastructure. Oracle, Adobe, and the AI-chip heavyweight Broadcom are all set to release quarterly numbers this week.

Oracle enters earnings under a cloud after its November sell-off tied to debt-funded AI data-center investments. Broadcom rallied on optimism around its deepening relationship with Google parent Alphabet and potential new wins from Microsoft.

On the consumer side, a cluster of retail earnings is on its way too. Giants like GameStop, AutoZone, and Lululemon report this week. Costco reports Thursday, 11 December 2025, fresh off its lawsuit against the Trump Administration challenging tariff policies that the company argues are hurting its cost structure.

On 9 December 2025 the JOLTS (Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey) data will be released. If it is below 7.2 million, it will mean weakening jobs, and in simpler terms, more room for rate-cut. If it is above expectations, it may lower the rate cut odds in 2026.

On 11 December 2025 PPI inflation data will be out.

The new jobs report numbers from ADP are brutal, and we haven’t seen any official economic data since before the shutdown.

Key Takeaways

Beyond the FOMC statement, several data releases could inject incremental volatility into both traditional and crypto markets this week.

October job‑openings data, fresh initial jobless‑claims figures, and the delayed U.S. trade‑deficit numbers all land within days of the Fed’s decision.
