Major Events This Week: U.S. Jobs Data, SpaceX’s First Earnings, and the Largest Ever Stock Unlock

Huo Xing Finance reports: On August 3, at the start of the week, Trump reassured markets for risk assets by signaling intentions to negotiate with Iran and suspend strikes. However, Asia-Pacific stocks opened and continued to decline on Monday, indicating the market remains in an adjustment phase. This week, a wave of macroeconomic data and corporate earnings reports will be released. Market focus centers on the U.S. July Non-Farm Payrolls report on Friday—the first complete employment data following the Fed’s hold on rates in July—which will directly influence market pricing for September interest rate expectations. Meanwhile, SpaceX’s first earnings report since its IPO is set to be released, followed two days later by the largest single-stock lock-up expiration in U.S. history (approximately 911.5 million shares), placing severe liquidity pressure on the market. Key events are summarized below: Monday: Earnings from Palantir, ON Semiconductor, and others; Tuesday: U.S. June JOLTs job openings, factory orders, trade balance, SpaceX’s first post-IPO earnings, AMD earnings; Wednesday: U.S. July ADP employment, ISM non-manufacturing PMI, SanDisk, Western Digital, Circle, Eli Lilly earnings; Thursday: U.S. initial jobless claims for the week ending August 1, Challenger job cuts; SpaceX’s first batch of restricted shares unlocks (up to ~911.5 million shares, potentially worth nearly $100 billion); Friday: U.S. July non-farm payrolls, unemployment rate; Fed officials Musalem and Barkin deliver speeches.
