As the market players are aware, the global stock markets are very sensitive to the macro-economic variables and to the news which is associated with the macro-economic data. In the current scenario, it can be said that the news which are in the minds of the global market players is about the strong US jobs data. This strong data could make the US central bank less dovish. It can be assumed that the trade tensions between the US and China are also in the minds of the global market players as this could derail the prospects of economic growth. Now that the market players are of the view that the US Federal Reserve might become less dovish, it is now more important for the market trackers to track the Federal Reserve meeting which would take place on July 30, 2019-July 31, 2019.
