As July comes to an end, the financial markets are facing a critical moment. This week, there are two major events worth following: the Fed interest rate decision and the non-farm payroll report.

The Fed will announce its interest rate decision at 2 AM on July 31. Although there are calls for a significant rate cut to stimulate economic growth, given the currently strong labor market and rising inflation rate, the Fed is expected to maintain a cautious stance and keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.5%. The Fed may continue to follow the situation to address potential inflation risks.

Another event worth following is the non-farm payroll report released at 20:30 on August 1. If the data exceeds market expectations, it may push the dollar index up while putting some pressure on the precious metals market. In this case, it could prompt some funds to flow into the cryptocurrency market.

As the end of the month approaches, market sentiment may become more sensitive. Investors should closely follow these key events and make informed investment decisions based on their own risk tolerance. For investors with lower risk tolerance, it may be more suitable to adopt a wait-and-see approach.

Regardless, the market trends this week are expected to be quite exciting, and investors need to remain calm and rational while closely following market movements and the release of important economic data.
