The Federal Reserve Strikes Tonight: A Series of Risk Events Unfold

On July 30, the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision at 02:00 Beijing time on Thursday, followed by a press conference with Powell at 02:30. This meeting is expected to maintain the current stance, although two board members may 'switch sides.' The market is focused on the timing of the restart of rate cuts. Can Captain Powell lead the Federal Reserve's ship steadily forward? Additionally, tonight the U.S. 'small non-farm' data and second-quarter GDP data, as well as the Bank of Canada's interest rate decision, will be released; investors are advised to pay attention.
