  • On Wednesday at 8:30 am EDT, the Bureau of Economic Analysis will release Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE) data for March. The PCE is the Fed's preferred measure of inflation. The BEA will also report first-quarter GDP growth data on Wednesday morning.

The article discusses the recent performance of the stock market, focusing on the S&P 500's significant drop of 1.6% on a specific day, marking its worst day since March and bringing it close to a 10% decline from its July high, which is considered a correction.
