Economic Calendar: Key Market Movers (week of 28Jul25)

Public Holidays

There are no public holidays in China, Singapore, America or Hong Kong.

The upcoming week features several critical economic announcements that will shape market sentiment and influence central bank policy.

United States

• Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision: The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is widely expected to maintain the federal funds rate at 4.50%. This decision will be the week's most closely watched event.

• Inflation Data: The Core PCE Price Index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, will be released and closely scrutinised for its potential impact on future monetary policy.

• GDP Growth: The Q2 US GDP report will provide insights into economic performance, with a weaker-than-expected outcome potentially leading to increased market volatility.

• Consumer Sentiment & Employment: CB Consumer Confidence will be announced, with a decline from the previous 93.0 potentially signalling dampened consumption.

• Key labour market indicators, including JOLTS Job Openings, ADP Non-Farm Employment Change, Average Hourly Earnings, Non-Farm Payrolls, and the Unemployment Rate, are scheduled for release. These employment figures are crucial for the Federal Reserve's dual mandate of balancing inflation and employment.

• Manufacturing PMIs: Several manufacturing indices will be released, including S&P Global Manufacturing PMI (forecast at 49.5, indicating contraction), ISM Manufacturing PMI, ISM Manufacturing Prices (following a strong increase), and Chicago PMI (after a previous contraction to 40.4).

China

• Manufacturing PMI: China's Manufacturing PMI will be announced, with the previous reading at 49.7 indicating contraction. This data point is a significant reference for global consumption trends.

This week's data releases will provide a comprehensive view of global economic health and offer insights for investors and policymakers alike.
