Whether to continue to consolidate the probability of a rate cut in September. As for GDP, PCE and employment data, it is a combination, and whether the US economy under the data will affect or change the rate cut in September and the magnitude of the rate cut Other auxiliary data are for reference only U.S. stock earnings reports: only large companies are listed Monday, July 28, Before the market: Sien Semiconductor NXP, Cadence Design Tuesday, July 29, Pre-market: Procter & Gamble, Merck, United Parcel, Behind the scenes: Spotify, AMD Wednesday, July 30th, Behind the scenes: Microsoft, META Thursday, July 31st.

July 21 - July 25 Macro Events: (Time calculated according to UTC+8) This week is temporarily in the macro "vacuum period", and there is no important news on the macro data, but the Q2 earnings season of the US stock market is coming, and the US stock market has ushered in a stress test stage. Second, U.S. tariff negotiations around the world became normal until August 1. Monday, July 21st 20:30 : US telecommunications giant Verizon earnings report Q2 quarter earnings report released, Tuesday, July 22 20:30: Fed Powell opened the meeting on "Comprehensive Assessment of the Capital Structure of Large Banks" in Washington, followed by Bowman and Waller. 20:30: The Coca-Cola Company reports for the Q2 quarter of fiscal year 2025 Thursday, July 24th 01:00 : US 20-year US Treasury bond auction 04:00: Tesla and Google report for the Q2 quarter of fiscal year 2025 Friday, July 5th 7:30 : Japanese CPI data Assess: There are not many macro focuses this week, mainly focusing on Powell's speech and Japan's CPI 1. It is unknown whether Powell will be interviewed in his speech at the meeting, and once interviewed, the most question should be in response to Trump's "siege" remarks on Powell, and see how confident Powell is. 2. Bowman and Waller, who participated at the same time, are two people who have recently been particularly "dove" Fed governors, which is particularly obvious "political correctness", look at the same time, the two and Powell have encountered different "sparks" 3. Japan's CPI is actually not the focus of attention, but the recent rebound in inflation in Japan has caused public dissatisfaction, resulting in Shigeru Ishiba's approval rating has reached the range where he can step down. Another key point is the US stock earnings report, especially Google and Tesla announced their earnings on the same day, if there is a "problem" in the financial report, whether it will stimulate large fluctuations in US stocks and the lack of market care. On the other hand, I personally don't think the problem will be too big of a 20-year U.S. Treasury, after all, the current yield is here, even if you pursue high yields, there will be funds to buy.
Errata: AMD's Q2 earnings report is on August 5, and the timeline in the article is wrong, which is misleading, sorry!
