The DAX closed at 25,099 on July 24, 2026 (+1.36%), recovering from a monthly low. To close above 25,500 by Friday requires a further ~1.6% gain. Positive drivers: US earnings season with Meta, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft this week; stable ECB rate path. Headwinds: US tariffs (Section 301, 12.5%), weak German domestic growth, VW restructuring (50,000 job cuts announced). No prediction market; estimate: 42%.

USD/JPY stands at 163.83 on July 25 – a 40-year low. Japan intervened massively in April 2026 (¥11.73 trillion ≈ $73.4B) and possibly again on July 11 ($20.7B per Reuters), without lasting effect. MoF and BoJ officials have repeatedly warned against 'excessive volatility.' US Treasury urges further BoJ rate hikes. Another intervention this week is possible, but given intervention fatigue and no fresh MoF warning today: calibration 28%.

Brent closed at $98.38/barrel on July 24 (intraday high $100.39). The market benefits from Middle East tensions (IRGC Strait of Hormuz activity, fragile US-Iran deal), seasonally high US demand, and limited OPEC+ spare capacity. Closing above $101 on Monday requires a 2.7% gain from July 24 close. Weekend risk premium from escalating Middle East situation could help. No specific prediction market; estimate: 38%.

Qualcomm reports fiscal Q3 FY2026 (April–June 2026) on July 29. The Zacks consensus is $2.22–$2.23 non-GAAP EPS, a -19.9% YoY decline on revenue consensus of $9.68B. The decline reflects handset weakness due to US tariffs. However, Qualcomm employs conservative guidance mechanics and has beaten EPS estimates in 8 of the last 10 quarters. Snapdragon demand stabilization via AI handsets may enable a guidance beat. Own calibration: 60%.

Polymarket prices 88% probability for German GDP growth ≥0.4% QoQ in Q2 2026 (as of 25 Jul 2026). Supporting factors: Germany recorded +0.3% QoQ in Q1 2026, and the Eurozone Manufacturing PMI surged to 51.9 in July 2026 – a four-year high for German industry. Despite energy price pressure from the Iran conflict, stable domestic demand and fading recession fears signal an acceleration in Q2. Risk: a negative surprise before July 30 could push the print below 0.4%.

Lines.com prediction market prices 59.5% probability for Eurozone GDP growth of 0.4–0.7% QoQ in Q2 2026. After weak 0.1% QoQ in Q1 2026, the Eurozone Manufacturing PMI of 51.9 in July signals a noticeable recovery – driven by Germany and services strength in Spain and France. The energy price shock from the Iran war caps upside; a print above 0.7% appears unlikely.

Shericka Jackson (Jamaica, two-time 200m world champion) is only competing in the 4×100m relay at CWG 2026, not the individual event. Amy Hunt, world 200m silver medallist and England sprint star, is the local co-favourite. Main rival: Alana Reid (Jamaica, 22.29s PB, gold at Jamaican Championships 2026). The race remains open; Hunt benefits from home advantage and strong 2026 form. Bookmaker-implied probability ~35–45% for Hunt.
