Markets are set to track a packed global calendar on Thursday, July 30, 2026, according to Jin10 as cited by ChainCatcher. The schedule includes the Bank of Canada’s monetary policy meeting minutes, the Federal Open Market Committee rate decision, and a press conference by Fed Chair Warsh. Corporate earnings are also due from Meta, Microsoft, Qualcomm and Arm, followed later by Samsung Electronics and, the next day, Amazon and Apple. The macro calendar is equally dense across Europe and the United States. France, Germany and the eurozone are all set to release second-quarter GDP readings, while the eurozone will also publish June unemployment data and July sentiment indicators. The Bank of England will announce its rate decision, followed by Governor Andrew Bailey’s press conference. In the U.S., attention will turn to weekly initial jobless claims, June core PCE inflation data, personal spending, second-quarter annualized real GDP, real personal consumption expenditures, and the annualized core PCE price index, along with EIA natural gas inventory data.
