Next Week Overview
In the Saudi stock market, several companies are in focus for upcoming dividend events, including Al Hammadi Holding(4007.SA), Jarir Marketing Co.(4190.SA), Alamar Foods Co.(6014.SA), and Saudi Arabian Oil Co.(2222.SA).
On the macro front, lingering doubts over a potential US-Iran deal have deepened concerns about crude supply, keeping oil prices near $80 a barrel. At the same time, softer employment and cooling inflation have eased pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise rates. With the Fed due to release the minutes of its latest policy meeting next week, investors will be watching for clues on the path ahead.
In corporate earnings, retail giants including Home Depot, Inc.(HD.US), Lowe's Companies, Inc.(LOW.US), Target Hospitality Corp.(TH.US), Walmart Inc.(WMT.US), and Ross Stores, Inc.(ROST.US) will test the resilience of the US consumer. Results from BHP Group Ltd Sponsored American Depositary Receipt Repr 2 Shs(BHP.US), Deere & Company(DE.US), Wolfspeed Inc(WOLF.US), and ZTO Express (Cayman) Inc. Sponsored ADR Class A(ZTO.US) are also worth watching.
