Chinese Caixin Manufacturing PMI: Thursday, 1:45. This independent forward-looking survey is considered a reliable barometer for the direction of the world’s second-largest economy. It has been below 50 – the threshold separating expansion and contraction – in the past few months. A minor drop from 49.6 to 49.4 points is forecast. China’s economy has suffered from US tariffs. Any significant fall may boost the safe-haven USD and JPY.

UK rate decision: Thursday, 11:00, press conference at 11:30. This is a “Super Thursday” event by the Bank of England. The BOE not only releases its rate decision and meeting minutes but also publishes its Quarterly Inflation Report (QIR) and holds a press conference led by Governor Mark Carney. The BOE has been assuming a smooth Brexit and has expressed its desire to raise rates amid a bustling economy and especially a booming labor market. This may all change now. The new Johnson government seems keen on a hard Brexit. Moreover, central banks all over the world have been removing their hawkish biases, signaling rate cuts, or slashing rates outright. The UK decision comes less than 24 hours after the Fed, and Carney and co. are likely to follow by removing their intention to raise rates. Nevertheless, the pound has already been suffering and may bounce on a “buy the rumor, sell the fact” response.

US ISM Manufacturing PMI: Thursday, 14:00. The forward-looking indicator has been on the back foot of late but remains above 50 – indicating ongoing growth in the manufacturing sector. A minor advance from 51.7 to 52 points is on the cards for July’s report – partly driven by the resumption of trade talks between the US and China. The index also serves as a hint toward Friday’s Non-Farm Payrolls.
