Week commencing 31 July

Chris Beauchamp's insight

A busy week of jobs data and earnings reports lies ahead. US payrolls end the week on Friday, while China purchasing managers index (PMI) and the US ISM PMIs are also key events along with eurozone gross domestic product (GDP). Earnings come from across the S&P 500, including Pfizer, Uber, Apple, Amazon and ConocoPhillips. The two tech giants are likely to be the most closely-watched this week.
