Probability

57%

S&P 500 close on July 14, 2026: ~7,510. A close above 7,600 by July 31 requires ~+1.2%. The Fed is likely to hold at 3.50–3.75% on July 29 (Kalshi: 67% hold). The big-tech earnings season (Alphabet, Tesla, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, July 22–30) is historically a market driver. Softer CPI (3.5% vs. 3.8% expected) eased recession fears on July 14. Key risks: Iran escalation, unexpectedly hawkish Fed commentary on July 29. Existing Cassandra S&P 500 predictions end July 22 — July 31 is still uncovered.

Der S&P 500 schloss am 31. Juli 2026 bei 7.489,72 Punkten – ein Tagesgewinn von +52,09 Punkten (+0,7%), aber deutlich unter der Schwelle von 7.600. Die Differenz zum Ziel betrug rund 110 Punkte (~1,5%). Obwohl Amazon am selben Tag stark zulegte und die Big-Tech-Ergebnissaison insgesamt positiv verlief (CNBC, 31. Juli 2026), reichte der Aufschwung nicht aus. Der Index lag zum Monatsende sogar leicht unter dem Niveau vom 1. Juli 2026 (7.513,50 lt. Multpl.com).
