This week, the financial markets will encounter several important events, among which the most followed is the release of the U.S. inflation data for July. Investors will closely monitor this data to assess whether the inflation trend will impact the potential interest rate cut decision in September. At the same time, the market is also paying attention to whether the supply and demand relationship may trigger expectations of "stagflation."

This week's focus is mainly on three aspects: the progress of international trade negotiations, the developments in the Russia-Ukraine situation, and the direction of interest rate policies of central banks in various countries.

The specific schedule is as follows:

August 12 (Tuesday):
- The United States will release July inflation data.
- Federal Reserve Governor Barkin will give a speech.

August 13 (Wednesday):
- Balchin spoke again.

August 14 (Thursday):
- Federal Reserve Governor Goolsbee will speak on monetary policy.
- Federal Reserve Governor Bostic will comment on the outlook for the U.S. economy.
- U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) data for July released

August 15 (Friday):
- US retail data released in July

In terms of the company's financial report, Circle will announce its second quarter financial report before the opening of the US stock market on August 12 (Tuesday).

In addition, the market is also following two highly uncertain events:
1. Will the third round of trade negotiations between China and the United States reach a consensus on the "extension of the 90-day tariff suspension"?
2. The leaders of the US and Russia will meet in Alaska on August 15 (Friday) to discuss the Russia-Ukraine peace agreement.

The developments of these events may have a significant impact on the global financial markets, and investors need to closely follow the relevant trends.
