Next Week Overview

The Saudi market is set for a week focused on dividend activity, with Electrical Industries Co.(1303.SA), Ades Holding Co.(2382.SA), and Saudi Arabian Oil Co.(2222.SA) in the spotlight. Beyond dividends, the calendar features a heavy slate of general assembly meetings—covering ordinary, extraordinary, and capital-hike agendas—as well as the routine release of weekly API and EIA energy reports.

On the macroeconomic front, Wednesday’s Core PCE release takes center stage, as markets look to confirm whether core inflation is continuing its cooling trend. A softer-than-expected reading could further diminish the probability of a September rate hike.

In policy events, investors are closely watching Kevin Warsh’s debut at the Jackson Hole symposium next week. He is expected to use the platform to address the core challenges currently facing the Federal Reserve, with Wall Street keenly awaiting a clearer roadmap for the Fed's strategy to combat inflation.

For US equities, earnings attention is concentrated in Wednesday’s after-hours session. NVIDIA Corporation(NVDA.US), CrowdStrike(CRWD.US), Salesforce.com, inc.(CRM.US), and Synopsys, Inc.(SNPS.US) are set to report, with the market focusing heavily on these results to gauge the sustainability of AI chip demand and broader corporate technology spending.
