Wendy's Weekly STOCK MARKET Report "July was an event-heavy one for Wall Street" Presented by Wendy Nelson
Market Week: August 3, 2026
The Markets (as of market close July 31, 2026)
The last week of July was an event-heavy one for Wall Street. Investors had to evaluate the impact of significant Q2 earnings results, a Federal Reserve rate decision, the latest gross domestic product report, and more inflation data. Despite a sharp mid-week plunge following the Fed's decision to maintain the current interest rate range, equities rebounded, driven by strong corporate updates. Long-term Treasury yields drifted higher during the week amid lingering inflation concerns. Crude oil prices continued to react to Middle East developments, fluctuating between $84.00 and $90.00 per barrel.
