In this episode of Market Insights, Gary Thomson unpacks the strategic implications of the week’s most critical events driving global markets.
Key topics covered in this episode:
- Inflation Rate in Canada
Canada’s June inflation data (due 15 July) follows May’s steady 1.7% reading. Core inflation eased but stayed sticky. Last month, this supported the CAD. Will fresh data again lift the Canadian dollar?
- US Inflation Rate
US inflation data is due 15 July. In May, CPI was 2.4% and core inflation stayed at 2.8%, both below forecasts but still above target. Cooling prices fueled bets on a Fed rate cut in September, pressuring the dollar. Will softer inflation data reinforce expectations for a September cut and weigh further on the USD?
- UK Inflation Rate
UK June inflation data is due 16 July. May CPI eased to 3.4%, but core inflation was sticky. Markets expect BoE to cut the rate this year, possibly from August. Will core inflation stay high enough to keep the pound supported again?
- US Producer Price Index
US PPI data arrives 16 July. May saw a modest 0.1% monthly rise and 2.6% annual increase, hinting at mild wholesale inflation. Could June’s PPI surprise and shift expectations for a September Fed rate cut?
- Corporate Earnings Statements
Big US financial institutions — JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, and BlackRock — report Q2 earnings on 15 July, likely fueling market volatility amid trade policy uncertainty. Will these earnings help steady sentiment or trigger more turbulence?
