Predicted for 30. July 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
The US Core PCE deflator (excluding food and energy) stood at 3.4% YoY in May 2026 — the highest since October 2023. The trend is rising (April: 3.3%, May: 3.4%). Brent crude at ~$87-89/barrel and headline PCE at 4.1% (May) create secondary-effects pressure on core components. Polymarket prices 37% probability of a Fed rate hike in September 2026 — implying a meaningful inflation pickup from early summer. A June reading at 3.51% or above would sharply increase pressure on the Fed to act in September. No specific PCE-threshold market on Polymarket or Kalshi; calibrated on trend extrapolation and Fed market expectations.

- BEA Core PCE Mai 2026: 3,4 % YoY (höchster Wert seit Okt. 2023); Headline PCE 4,1 % (BEA, 25. Juni 2026)

RTX reports Q2 2026 before market open on July 23 (call at 7:30 AM ET). Analyst consensus (18 estimates): $1.66 EPS on $22.88B revenue (+6.4% YoY). RTX has beaten estimates in four consecutive quarters: Q1 2026 $1.78 vs. $1.52 consensus (+17%); Q4 2025 $1.56 vs. $1.44. No Polymarket market found for RTX specifically. Defense demand (Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney Military) benefits from record NATO budgets; the Hormuz crisis drives defense spending further. Pratt & Whitney commercial aerospace backlog supports margins. Very consistent beat track record over past eight quarters.

BoE MPC voted 7-2 to hold at 3.75% in June 2026, with two members dissenting for a hike to 4.00%. UK CPI: ~2.8%; services inflation: stubborn 3.7%. OIS markets imply ~80% probability of a hold on July 30 per economist consensus. Since the US-Iran ceasefire (June 2026), energy prices eased slightly, but the Hormuz crisis keeps oil elevated and creates indirect inflation pressure. Reuters economist poll: majority expect hold for rest of 2026, ~40% see at least one hike. A rate cut to 3.50% appears ruled out given the data. Base consensus: Hold.

P&G (FY ends June 30) reports Q4 FY2026 before market open on July 29. Analyst consensus: $1.42 EPS (-4.1% YoY), revenue ~$21.41B (+2.5% YoY). No Polymarket market found; historical beat rate ~80–85% of quarters (analysts consistently set conservative estimates). The YoY EPS decline reflects higher input costs (partly Hormuz-driven) and FX headwinds; operating margin supported by ongoing productivity programs. Premium brands (Pampers, Tide, Gillette, SK-II) maintain pricing power. Volume flex remains modestly negative but sufficient for a slight EPS beat. The $1.42 benchmark appears conservatively set.
