Predicted for 10. September 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
The ECB deposit rate stands at 2.25% following the June 11, 2026 hike. The existing Cassandra open prediction for the July 23 meeting expects a hold at 2.25%, consistent with the market. The September meeting (September 10, 2026) is the next realistic hike date: core inflation and GDP recovery (Eurostat Q2 flash >0.3% QoQ expected) support further tightening. The existing Cassandra year prediction explicitly mentions the 'expected September hike to 2.50%.' Rate swap markets as of July 2026 imply ~68% probability for a 25 bp hike in September. Estimate: 67%.

Ford reports Q2 on July 28 (5 PM ET). Consensus: $0.35/share. Ford Pro (commercial vehicles, F-150, Transit) remains the profit engine; US import tariffs benefit domestic manufacturers. Ford raised full-year guidance after Q1 2026 and beat EPS consensus in 3 of last 4 quarters (TIKR). Headwinds: Model e EV segment still burning capital, raw material costs elevated.

USD/JPY at 162.51 on July 21. A move to 163.00 requires only +0.3%. Drivers: BOJ expected to hold at 1.00% on July 30–31 (open prediction) — no near-term JPY-support signal. ECB holds at 2.25% on July 23 (open prediction), keeping rate differential stable. Risk-on environment (Polymarket: 95% for positive S&P 500 open on July 21). Counter-risk: Japan MoF repeatedly threatens FX intervention above 160–165.
