Next Week Overview
In Saudi Arabia, market participants are closely eyeing the upcoming Q2/2026 GDP - Flash Estimate data scheduled for the 29th. On the equities front, focus is centered on upcoming dividend events for Arabian Pipes Co.(2200.SA), The Saudi National Bank(1180.SA), and Kingdom Holding Co.(4280.SA). Additionally, Arabian Pipes Co.(2200.SA) is set to hold an Extraordinary General Meeting regarding a capital hike.
On the geopolitical front, US-Iran tensions are escalating once again. US President Trump stated that he is "seriously considering" resuming large-scale military operations against Iran. In response, both Iran and Houthi armed forces declared that they are fully prepared for combat.
Looking at the broader economic calendar, Wednesday evening will bring Kevin Warsh’s second Federal Reserve policy meeting. With Brent crude oil breaching the $100 per barrel mark and US Treasury yields surging to new 2026 highs, there is a strong possibility that interest rate hike expectations could be reignited.
Meanwhile, Wall Street is gearing up for a blockbuster second week of earnings. The lineup kicks off with SK hynix Inc. Sponsored ADR(SKHY.US)’s inaugural earnings report since its US listing. This will be followed by a massive tech day, with Microsoft Corporation(MSFT.US), Meta Platforms(META.US), Lam Research Corporation(LRCX.US), and Arm Holdings(ARM.US) all reporting results on the same day, while Apple Inc.(AAPL.US) and Amazon.com, Inc.(AMZN.US) will also headline their own shared reporting day. Furthermore, key Dow components including Visa(V.US), Coca-Cola Company(KO.US), and Procter & Gamble Company(PG.US) are scheduled to release their financial results.
