Predicted for 31. July 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
BoJ raised policy rate to 1.00% in June 2026 – highest since 1995 (7:1 vote, CNBC June 16, 2026). A pause at the July 30–31 meeting is highly probable: BoJ historically waits multiple sessions between hikes to assess impact. Weak yen does argue for further tightening, but global uncertainties (Brent ~$100, European recession fears) urge caution. Kalshi futures imply ~68% for no change. Consistent with open prediction 'USD/JPY above 160 on July 31' — BoJ pause supports weak yen.

Verdict: Hit
Die BoJ hielt den Leitzins am 31. Juli 2026 wie vorhergesagt unverändert bei 1,00 %. Die Entscheidung fiel mit 8:1-Stimmen (ein Mitglied votierte für eine Anhebung auf 1,25 %). Quellen: Bloomberg ("Bank of Japan Holds Interest Rate Steady at 1% as Expected", 31.07.2026), Focus Economics, Babypips sowie japanischsprachige Berichterstattung (smart-moneylife.jp, Nikkei). Die Begründung – Wartezeit nach der Juni-Anhebung, um deren Wirkung abzuschätzen – traf exakt zu.

Take-Two Interactive reports Q2 FY2027 (July–September 2026) results on November 9 after market close. Estimated analyst consensus: approx. -$0.45 EPS (heavy investment cycle around GTA VI and other AAA titles). TTWO has beaten consensus in 6 of the last 8 quarters; strong Recurrent Consumer Spending base (mobile, NBA 2K, GTA Online) consistently delivers positive surprises on cost discipline. Report date confirmed by TipRanks Earnings Calendar (as of Nov 8, 2026). Verification by TTWO Investor Relations or Bloomberg by November 10, 2026, 10:00 ET.

Constellation Energy reports Q3-FY2026 tomorrow (November 9, 2026) before market open. TradingView and Gurufocus put the EPS consensus at $3.90/share, with revenue consensus at $9.23B. CEG has beaten estimates in 7 of the last 8 quarters — an 87.5% historical beat rate. Driver: Structurally rising nuclear power demand for AI data centers (e.g., Microsoft contracts) boosts reactor utilization and secures stable cash flows. Risk: Stock fell ~9% post-midterm results, reflecting repriced regulatory uncertainty that could overshadow near-term operational strength. Strong fundamentals and consistent beat history nevertheless support another consensus beat.

Walmart has beaten EPS estimates for four consecutive quarters. The official consensus is $0.64/share — identical to the top of management guidance ($0.62–$0.64). Analysts average $0.72 (range $0.70–$0.73), anticipating another structural beat. Drivers: Robust US consumer (October CPI ~3.5–3.7%; September retail sales +0.8% MoM), ongoing grocery market share gains, and strong e-commerce and advertising growth. Risk: Management lowered full-year guidance after Q2; macro headwinds from elevated prices could compress volume mixes. The consistent beat history and structural tailwinds prevail.
