The Week that Was
Last week, Nvidia made history by becoming the world’s first $4 trillion public company, fueled by soaring demand for its AI chips and a record-setting stock price that briefly pushed CEO Jensen Huang’s net worth above Warren Buffett’s. At the same time, global markets were unsettled by President Trump’s announcement of sweeping new tariffs on Brazilian and Canadian imports, raising concerns about inflation and the outlook for global growth. Despite these headwinds, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reached all-time highs midweek before retreating, with technology stocks demonstrating particular resilience even as broader markets grew more cautious.
This Week's Economic Calendar Highlights
This week's economic calendar features critical market-moving events, including the US CPI report on Tuesday, China's GDP data on Tuesday, and the G20 finance ministers' meetings in South Africa. Major earnings reports from JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Netflix might also drive market sentiment.
G20 Summit: Key Meetings in South Africa
The G20, or Group of Twenty, is the leading international platform for economic collaboration among the world's major economies. Its membership includes 19 countries, the European Union (EU), and, as of 2023, the African Union (AU).
Collectively, the G20 members account for roughly 85% of the world's GDP, over 75% of international trade, and about two-thirds of the global population. As such, their meetings may be of interest to many consumers, traders, and analysts.
This week, the G20 will meet twice:
14 July, 2025 - 18 July, 2025: Fourth G20 Finance and Central Bank Deputies and Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors’ Meetings
14 July, 2025 - 18 July, 2025: Second Climate and Environment Sustainability Working Group Meeting
These meetings will occur at The Capital Zimbali Resort in Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
