July jobs, CPI, and Fed minutes headline two weeks of catalysts
TL;DR
Nonfarm payrolls for July release August 7, the first major data point after the Fed’s 9–3 vote on July 29 to hold rates at 3.50%–3.75%, its most divided decision since 2016.
July CPI lands August 12 and July PPI follows August 13, the two inflation reports markets will weigh most heavily ahead of the September 15–16 FOMC meeting.
FOMC minutes from the July meeting publish August 19, detailing how the committee discussed the three-way dissent from regional Fed presidents Hammack, Kashkari, and Logan.
Weekly BTC and ETH options and futures expire on Deribit and CME every Friday, landing on August 7 alongside jobs data and August 14 alongside retail sales and consumer sentiment data.
This fortnight brings no Fed, ECB, or Bank of England rate decision, but it carries three of the most closely watched US data releases of the summer plus the minutes from a Fed meeting that ended in an unusually divided vote. July’s jobs report, CPI, and PPI arrive within a six-day stretch, followed by minutes that show how split the Fed’s committee actually was.
