Monday 3/2

The Institute for Supply Management releases both its Manufacturing and Services Purchasing Managers' Indexes for February.

Tuesday 3/3

CrowdStrike Holdings and Target announce quarterly results on Tuesday, followed by Broadcom on Wednesday and Costco Wholesale on Thursday.

Friday 3/6

The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the jobs report for February. Economists forecast a 60,000 increase in nonfarm payrolls, after a 130,000 gain in January. The unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 4.3%. January's jobs growth was the largest since December of 2024, allaying fears about a weakening labor market. Federal Reserve governor Christopher Waller, who dissented in favor of an interest-rate cut at the Federal Open Market Committee's most recent meeting, pointed to strength in the latest jobs report in saying that a rate cut was "close to a coin flip" at the next FOMC meeting in mid-March.
