Executive summary

Today's economic agenda includes final services PMIs for major Eurozone economies and the UK, alongside US labor market indicators. Market reactions are expected to be subdued as geopolitical factors and inflation remain in focus.

EUROPEAN SESSION

In the European session, the agenda features final services PMIs for major Eurozone economies and the UK. However, these data points are unlikely to influence central bank policies significantly, leading to a muted market reaction. Currently, market dynamics are being shaped by expectations surrounding a potential US-Iran deal and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which are influencing trends leading into the upcoming US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report.

AMERICAN SESSION

During the American session, attention will turn to the US ADP employment report and the ISM Services PMI. The ADP report is anticipated to show an addition of 65,000 jobs in July, down from 98,000 in the previous month. This data is not expected to alter the outlook significantly, given stable labor market conditions and the Federal Reserve's ongoing focus on inflation.

The ISM Services PMI is projected to rise to 54.5 from 54.0. Notably, the Flash S&P Global US Services PMI recently reached its highest level since November 2025, although it may have been influenced by the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. There are concerns that conditions could worsen due to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. However, recent developments suggest a potential resolution to the conflict, which could mitigate risks to growth and bolster economic activity.

CENTRAL BANK SPEAKERS

At 20:05 GMT (16:05 ET), Federal Reserve's Cook, a neutral voter, is scheduled to speak, providing further insights into the Fed's policy outlook.
