Prudential features among those set to report in the UK next week, alongside NVIDIA and CrowdStrike across the pond.
First though, specialist distributor Bunzl will kick off reporting among FTSE 100 constituents for the week on Tuesday with interims, following a bank holiday on Monday.
This will coincide with full-year results from Australia-based miner BHP on the same day, before Wednesday brings updates from Prudential, NVIDIA and CrowdStrike.
For Prudential, investors will be hoping for any positivity in interim results after a focus switch to Asia has been dampened by economic headwinds in the area.
Chipmaker NVIDIA is then expected to deliver its latest in a string of earnings beats, while CrowdStrike’s update comes after it was at the centre of a global IT outage last month.
On the macroeconomic front, next week brings a second estimate for GDP growth over the last quarter in the US, alongside personal consumption expenditures data - the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation.
In the UK, a quieter bank holiday week will see mortgage approvals data for July on Friday, while EU inflation figures are also due late on in the week.
