🤖 AI Overview

What happened: Global markets traded mixed this week due to a lack of clear directional cues. Asian markets were split, with Japan and South Korea rallying post-holiday, while European stocks traded sideways. Eurozone retail sales grew 0.1% MoM in July, matching expectations, and German factory orders expanded 2.8% YoY. U.S. President Trump's tariff threat on EU imports added uncertainty.

Market impact: Tech and auto stocks were among the most affected, with investors cautious ahead of potential trade disruptions. The CAC 40 in France remained flat, reflecting investor wariness. The mixed performance in Asian markets also reflected regional divergence in growth prospects.

What to watch next: China's Q2 GDP data on July 16 will provide insights into global growth momentum. The EU's response to Trump's tariff threat, due by August 1, will also shape market sentiment. Additionally, investors will closely monitor U.S.-China trade negotiations for any breakthroughs.
