Investors are watching the ECB’s Thursday rate decision and Christine Lagarde’s press conference, alongside U.S. leading indicators, ADP private payrolls and earnings from Alphabet, Tesla, AT&T, IBM, Texas Instruments and Intel.
Europe is set to remain the main market focus next week, with the European Central Bank’s Thursday rate decision and Christine Lagarde’s press conference likely to guide sentiment. The calendar also includes the U.S. June Conference Board Leading Economic Index on Monday and ADP private payrolls on Tuesday, while earnings season accelerates with results from Alphabet, Tesla, AT&T, IBM, Texas Instruments and Intel. One source said no major U.S. data releases are currently scheduled that are expected to materially affect the Federal Reserve’s next rate-setting meeting.
