This week, financial markets will focus on central bank rate decisions in the U.S., Japan, and UK, the U.S. monthly jobs report, U.S. tech giant earnings, and July manufacturing PMI readings from major economies. The Federal Reserve is expected to keep rates steady at 5.25%-5.50% on Wednesday, with attention on the accompanying statement and Chair Jerome Powell's press conference for signals of a potential rate cut in September.
