Five key factors of the current week (August 4 – 8)


August, 04 2025
watermark Economic news

This week, market participants will focus on corporate earnings, U.S. trade tariffs, central bank decisions, and the situation surrounding Boeing.


Reporting season


Strong quarterly results from American companies, including Microsoft and Meta, confirm interest in AI and support the market. More than 80% of S&P 500 companies have exceeded analysts' expectations. Caterpillar, McDonald's and Disney will publish reports this week.


US statistics


The key indicator will be the index of business activity in the service sector. The latest employment report showed a slowdown in the labor market. Donald Trump has increased tensions by announcing the dismissal of the head of the BLS, suspecting falsification of data.


Trade duties from August 7


The new US tariffs, including 39% for Switzerland and 35% for Canada, will take effect on August 7. There is a chance for negotiations, especially between Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Carney.


Central banks


The central banks of India, Mexico and the United Kingdom will make rate decisions this week. The Bank of England is likely to cut the rate from 4.25% to 4%, despite continued inflationary pressures.


Strike on Boeing


More than 3,000 Boeing Defense employees in St. Louis are preparing to strike after rejecting a new contract. This may increase the company's production difficulties against the background of existing delays and problems in the industry.
