Predicted for 30. July 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Mastercard reports Q2 2026 on July 30. EPS consensus is $4.75. Mastercard has beaten EPS estimates in over 85% of quarters historically. Drivers: growing global payment volumes, strong cross-border transactions from tourism recovery, Emerging Markets expansion (India, Latin America). Visa reports two days earlier (July 28, consensus $3.22) as a positive sector benchmark. Geopolitical uncertainty (Hormuz) weighs slightly on travel volumes but payment network benefits from elevated energy price transactions.

TTF Natural Gas rose +29% in July 2026 to ~58.91 EUR/MWh; WTI crude surged +10% in one week (to $82.15), Brent to $85.95 — driven by Hormuz crisis and Qatar LNG halt. These energy price shocks will push the energy component of the Eurozone HICP for July sharply higher. If June HICP was ~2.2-2.3% YoY, an energy component expansion of +0.3-0.5 percentage points would lift July to ≥2.5%. The ECB may thus extend its rate pause, supporting the existing forecast 'ECB holds at 2.25% on July 23'. No Polymarket value; own estimate 57%.

AT&T reports Q2 2026 before market open on July 22. Consensus EPS is $0.59 (+9.3% YoY vs Q2 2025: $0.54). AT&T has beaten EPS estimates in ~75-80% of recent quarters. Fiber subscriber additions (~380K/quarter in 2025) remain solid; SpaceX direct-link competition only impacts medium-term. Mobile pricing increases support margins.

DAX closed at ~24,726 on Friday July 17, 2026 (intraday high 24,852). Reaching 25,200 requires +1.9% over three trading days (Mon-Wed). Week catalysts: Alphabet, Tesla, IBM, GM, 3M all report on July 22 with broad beat expectations; sharply higher energy prices (WTI +10% in July) also support European energy and defense stocks. No Polymarket value; own estimate ~50:50 given rate path uncertainty and Hormuz risks.
