Errante’s Week Ahead: July 20-24, 2026

Highlights of the week

  • The ECB decision and press conference will determine whether EUR retains policy support.
  • UK CPI will test the pound’s resilience as headline inflation cools but services remain sticky.
  • US PMIs and housing data will show whether growth remains firm enough to support the dollar.

What Now

The ECB decision is the week’s main FX event. A hawkish hold would support EUR, while growth concerns could limit gains. UK CPI will guide GBP after headline inflation eased to 2.8 percent but services inflation stayed firm. In the US, stronger PMIs would support yields and USD, while weaker services and housing data would favor bonds, gold and a softer dollar.
