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:
- BoE Interest Rate Decision
Markets expect a 25 bps rate cut from the Bank of England on 7 August, but GBP volatility may hinge more on the MPC vote split and policy tone. Inflation has eased but remains above target, keeping the BoE cautious. What factors can trigger volatility in GBP pairs?
- Unemployment Rate in Canada
Canada’s jobs data due 8 August could sway rate cut expectations. Last month’s surprise drop in unemployment eased pressure on the Bank of Canada. Will the upcoming jobs report revive rate cut bets and weigh on the Canadian dollar?
- Corporate Earnings Statements
This week’s earnings spotlight major tech and consumer firms. Key focus areas include AI adoption, data center growth, and consumer spending trends, with Palantir, AMD, Super Micro, Disney, and Shopify all in play. Which company’s earnings do you think will have the biggest market impact — and why?
- Trade Tensions
Trade tensions remain a market risk, even without new Trump announcements this week. Reactions from major partners like India, the EU, China, and Canada could spark volatility.
