👉 Key topics covered in this episode:
✔️ US Inflation Rate — 14 July, 3:30 PM GMT+3
Investors are closely watching the latest US inflation report, as it could influence expectations for the Federal Reserve’s next policy decisions. A stronger-than-expected reading may revive expectations of tighter monetary policy and support the US dollar, while softer data could reinforce expectations that rates will remain unchanged for longer.
✔️ Fed Chair Warsh Testimony — 14–15 July
Market attention is turning to Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s first congressional testimony, where investors will look for fresh signals on interest rates, inflation and the economic outlook. Any shift in tone or unexpected comments could drive volatility across currencies, gold and US equities.
✔️ UK GDP Data — 16 July, 9:00 AM GMT+3
The latest UK GDP figures will provide insight into the strength of the British economy and could affect expectations for future Bank of England policy. With sterling already under pressure against the US dollar, any surprise in economic growth data may trigger increased volatility across GBP pairs.
✔️ US Earnings Season
The start of the US earnings season will offer an early look at corporate performance, with major banks reporting results. Investor focus will be on credit demand, consumer activity and the overall health of the US economy, with financial sector results potentially setting the tone for broader equity markets.
Geopolitical risks, especially around US-Iran tensions and energy markets, could remain an important driver of volatility across currencies, commodities and equities.
In this environment, traders closely monitor incoming data, being flexible and getting ready for short-term volatility.
