The Week Ahead

Week commencing 30 June

Chris Beauchamp insight

A shortened week for United States (US) markets is ahead due to the Independence Day holiday on Friday. This means that payroll data has been brought forward to Thursday, which is a half-day for US markets. Also on the agenda this week are purchasing managers' indices (PMIs) from China, both the official and private sector versions, along with the US Institute for Supply Management (ISM) PMIs, plus German and Eurozone inflation data. Speeches by several Federal Reserve (Fed) members, including Jerome Powell, will be closely monitored as the likelihood of a September interest rate cut increases. Perhaps the only major company update of note will be Sainsbury's in the United Kingdom (UK), which will release a trading update.
