Market Outlook: July 28 – August 1, 2025
Overview
The final week of July brings heightened global market attention to pivotal central bank meetings, major economic data releases, and ongoing trade policy uncertainty. Investors are bracing for potentially sharp moves as key interest rate decisions and critical macroeconomic reports coincide with end-of-month portfolio rebalancing and an inflection point in policy and growth expectations.
Key Themes and Drivers
1. Central Bank Meetings
- U.S. Federal Reserve: The FOMC meets this week, with markets anticipating the outcome on rates and the policy statement’s guidance on the outlook amid still-elevated inflation and slowing growth.
- Bank of Japan: A two-day BoJ policy meeting ends July 31, with focus on yield curve control adjustments and inflation outlook.
- Bank of Canada: Set to release its rate decision, with attention on balancing moderating inflation against domestic economic softness.
- Other Central Banks: RBA and ECB are not expected to hold policy meetings this week, with the next RBA meeting scheduled in August.
2. Major Economic Data Releases
- United States:
- Q2 GDP (Advance): The first estimate of second-quarter GDP will help shape expectations for growth into the second half.
- June PCE Price Index: This key inflation metric influences Fed policy direction.
- July Labor Market Report (Non-Farm Payrolls): Friday’s release will be critical for labor market health and policy outlook.
- Other Data: Durable goods orders, consumer sentiment, and ISM manufacturing PMI are also due.
- Eurozone & Germany:
- Asia-Pacific:
3. Trade and Tariff Developments
- U.S.-EU Tariff Talks: The approach of the August 1 U.S. tariff deadline on imported EU goods remains a major risk event, with last-minute negotiations ongoing. Tariff headlines may drive volatility across sectors exposed to global trade flows.
4. Earnings & Corporate Activity
- The U.S. Q2 earnings season moves into a crucial stretch, with major technology, industrial, and financial sector results providing important signals for investor sentiment and sector performance.
Key Events Calendar
| Date | Event/Data Release | Market Focus |
|---|---|---|
| July 30–31 | Bank of Japan Policy Meeting | Japanese rates, global risk sentiment |
| July 31 | U.S. FOMC Rate Decision, Q2 GDP (Advance) | U.S. monetary policy, economic growth |
| July 30 | Australia Q2 CPI | RBA outlook, AUD direction |
| July 31 | German GDP, Retail Sales, Eurozone GDP | Eurozone growth, ECB stance |
| Aug 1 | U.S. July Non-Farm Payrolls, PCE Price Index, ISM PMI | U.S. labor market, inflation |
| Aug 1 | China Manufacturing & Services PMIs | Chinese demand, global supply chain outlook |
| All week | U.S. Q2 Earnings (Big Tech, Industrials) | Corporate health, equity sentiment |
| All week | U.S.-EU Tariff Deadline Approaches | Global trade policy risk |
Market Sentiment and Risks
- Equities: Shares remain near highs but are exposed to volatility from Fed and BoJ outcomes, economic data surprises, and potential tariff escalations. Earnings disappointment or bullish guidance from mega-cap tech could lead to outsized moves in U.S. indices.
- Bonds: U.S. yields may move sharply on the back of Fed communications and labor market data; the BoJ decision could also impact global rates.
- Currencies: The U.S. dollar faces event-driven risk around the Fed and economic data. Yen volatility is expected around the BoJ, with the euro influenced by European GDP and CPI prints.
- Commodities: Oil and metals may be sensitive to Chinese PMI numbers and any trade threats. Defensive flows into gold could pick up if central bank guidance or trade tensions disappoint.
Bottom Line
The week of July 28 to August 1 is pivotal for global markets, as central bank events and high-impact data releases will shape monetary policy expectations and volatility. The threat of new U.S.-EU tariffs and the final leg of Q2 earnings season add event risk to markets already coping with persistent growth, inflation, and policy uncertainty. Staying nimble and diversified remains essential as summer volatility peaks.
