European and US economic data and earnings cycle

Overview

The economic landscape in late July and August 2026 is characterized by a dense schedule of macroeconomic data releases and corporate financial reporting across Europe and the United States.

In late July, market activity was driven by preliminary Q2 GDP figures for several major European economies, including France, Spain, Germany, and Italy, alongside July CPI data. Central bank actions were also a primary focus, specifically the Bank of England’s monetary policy decision.

By mid-August, the focus expanded to include significant corporate earnings reports from entities such as Thyssenkrupp, Eon, and Cisco Systems. On August 13, European stock markets exhibited mixed performance as investors processed new indicators. In the United Kingdom, Q2 GDP grew by 0.4%, aligning with initial estimates. In Germany, inflation accelerated to 2.8% in July.

As the period progresses toward September 1, the economic calendar remains heavy with upcoming corporate announcements, including results from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, Docmorris AG, Carlsberg, Alibaba, and Walmart.

Macroeconomic monitoring continues with scheduled UK consumer and producer price indices for July, Eurozone consumer price inflation, and German manufacturing order backlogs. Additionally, financial markets are set to react to the release of FOMC meeting minutes from late July, US Energy Information Administration oil inventory data, and the implementation of 50 percent import tariffs on Canadian goods in the United States.
