JOSH LIPTON: Time now for what to watch next week. President Biden reportedly to travel to Michigan on Tuesday to support UAW strikes. This according to the Washington Post. This is coming after the United Auto Workers Union extended its strike to GM and Stellantis. Former President Trump has already announced a trip to Detroit on Wednesday evening, the same time as a GOP debate.

On the earnings front, Costco reporting its results. The retailer showing relative strength, heading into its earnings report. Investors can also look forward to quarterly results from Nike, with shifts in the retail industry. China recovery uncertainty will be one of the focal points when the company reports on Thursday, September 28.

And turning to the economic landscape, consumer confidence for the month of September is out on Tuesday. This coming after the index saw a pullback in confidence, reversing that sharp uptick in July. And then later in the week, new data for the Fed's preferred inflation gauge core PCE for the month of August expected to edge up 0.2%, and rise 3.9% year over year. That will be one of the key economic data points the Fed will keep an eye on, when making their next policy decision.
