Next Week Overview
The Saudi market is gearing up for a dividend-heavy week, featuring payouts from companies such as Maharah Human Resources Co.(1831.SA) and Saudi Basic Industries Corp.(2010.SA). Looking further ahead, the LEAP 2026 Tech Conference is scheduled for August 31 to September 3, 2026.
In the broader macro landscape, the Trump administration has reignited its trade war with Canada. Both sides plan to impose new tariffs starting in September, a move that threatens to push inflation higher and keep it stubbornly elevated.
Meanwhile, next week's U.S. economic calendar highlights the August ADP employment report and Nonfarm Payrolls. Markets will be closely watching these labor figures for cues on the Federal Reserve's policy trajectory ahead of its September meeting.
For U.S. earnings, key reports to watch include Dell Technologies, Inc. Class C(DELL.US) and MongoDB, Inc. Class A(MDB.US) on Tuesday, followed by a packed Wednesday featuring results from Broadcom Limited(AVGO.US), Snowflake(SNOW.US), and C3.ai Inc(AI.US).
