Fed, BOE, BOJ to Announce Rate Decisions Next Week Amid Inflation Concerns; Meta and Amazon Report Earnings

According to BlockBeats, on July 26, the Federal Reserve, Bank of England, and Bank of Japan are set to announce interest rate decisions next week as surging energy prices and elevated AI capital spending reignite global inflation concerns. Brent crude has breached $100 per barrel in recent weeks, and markets expect all three central banks to hold rates steady, though futures indicate a 35% probability the Fed will hike by 25 basis points next week.

Meanwhile, SK Hynix will release second-quarter earnings on July 29, with Meta, Microsoft, Robinhood, Qualcomm, and Arm reporting after Wednesday's U.S. market close, followed by Apple, Amazon, Coinbase, Reddit, and Roblox on Thursday. Investors will focus on tech giants' AI capital expenditure and returns.
