2-way trades in the interim
"Focus shifts to FOMC tonight (2am Thursday SGT) – widely expected to maintain hold. Powell’s comments on inflation, labour market outlook will be scrutinized for timing on next cut. Markets still implied around 2 cuts this year."
"On the data front, there are plenty of tier-1 data to watch out for, including conference ADP employment, 2Q GDP (Wednesday); FOMC, core PCE (Thursday); NFP, ISM manufacturing (Friday). Globally, there is BoJ, BoC policy decision and 1 Aug tariff deadline. Additionally, there may also be month-end flows distorting price action."
