Today's macroeconomic calendar includes several interesting items, including the preliminary GDP report for the Q2 of 2024 in the USA and the June durable goods report. Additionally, stock market investors won't be bored, as American Airlines and AbbVie will release their quarterly reports before the market open.
The most important event of the day is definitely the release of the preliminary GDP data for the USA for the second quarter. Analysts expect a quarterly growth increase to 2.0%, compared to 1.3% in the previous first quarter of this year. Currently, the market is slowly changing its sentiment, and poor macroeconomic data is once again starting to cause declines in indices. Therefore, with low inflation readings, the ideal scenario for investors would be steadily positive GDP data, which would maintain hopes for a soft landing.
