Predicted for 30. July 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The BEA is expected to release its Q2 2026 advance estimate around July 30, 2026. Supporting: robust consumption, initial claims ~220k/week, strong corporate earnings (S&P 500 EPS growth Q2 ~12%). Headwinds: tariff shock (Section 301 at 12.5%), weak investment, possible inventory drag after Q1 front-loading. Bloomberg consensus implies ~+2.0–2.4% annualised. Downside risk if net export drag is severe.
Data basis for this prediction
- Bloomberg Consensus Q2 2026 US GDP: ~+2,0–2,4 % annualisiert (Stand Juli 2026)
- S&P 500 Schlussstand 24.07.2026: 7.412 Punkte; EPS-Wachstum Q2 ~12 % (Bloomberg)
- US Erstanträge Arbeitslosigkeit, Woche 19.07.2026: ~220.000 (Bureau of Labor Statistics)

The Caixin PMI (focused on private and export-oriented SMEs, compiled by S&P Global) is conceptually distinct from the NBS PMI (state-owned large firms, separate open forecast). Caixin hovered around the 50-point mark in Q1/Q2 2026. New export orders benefiting from the US-China trade deal (Section 301 tariffs cut to 12.5%, confirmed by Reuters/USTR). Bloomberg consensus ~50.3. Risk: ongoing domestic weakness in the Chinese property market.

Polymarket shows 99% probability of a hold (volume $315k, as of July 26, 2026). The BoJ hiked from 0.75% to 1.00% in June 2026 and signalled a pause. Core CPI ~2.3%, USD/JPY ~162–163, global tariff headwinds counsel caution. Another hike in July is near-certain to be skipped.
