Predicted for 31. July 2026

Based on: Historical Cycle
Eurostat published the June 2026 flash CPI on July 1, 2026: 2.8% YoY (down from 3.2% in May). Energy remains the key driver at +8.7%. The Strait of Hormuz crisis (Brent +5% weekly from July) is likely to keep the energy component elevated in July rather than letting it fall further. Energy CPI responds with a 4–6 week lag to crude oil moves. Services inflation was 3.2% in June, expected to decline gradually. A further drop below 2.5% in July appears unlikely. The ECB hiked to 2.25% in June 2026 — a further signal of persistent inflation. No Polymarket market found.

Verdict: Hit
Eurostat veröffentlichte am 31. Juli 2026 den Flash-VPI für Juli 2026: 2,9 % YoY – deutlich über der Schwelle von 2,5 %. Die Jahresinflation stieg sogar von 2,8 % (Juni) auf 2,9 % an, getrieben vor allem von der Energiekomponente (+10,0 % nach +8,5 % im Juni), was die Prognose über den Hormuz-Effekt auf Energie bestätigt. Auch die Dienstleistungsinflation stieg leicht auf 3,3 %.

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.
