Key takeaways

ECB interest rates decision
Apple and Amazon earnings

The majority of this week’s most crucial market events are now behind us. The Fed cut interest rates but delivered a hawkish message. Wall Street’s technology giants have released earnings, and the Trump-Xi meeting concluded positively, though it is fundamentally a return to the prior status quo. Still ahead are several European data publications, the European Central Bank (ECB) rate decision, and, after the Wall Street close, earnings from the next US giants: Apple and Amazon.
