The ECB raised the deposit facility rate to 2.25% on June 11, 2026 (source: ecb.mp260611). The July 23 meeting is the first reassessment – without new staff projections (non-projection meeting). ECB-Watch and Kalshi show an implied market probability of approximately 90% for unchanged rates. Two more weeks of inflation and activity data will arrive before the meeting but are not expected to prompt a dramatic course correction.
Pogačar leads the GC after stage 6 by 2:42 over Jonas Vingegaard (Visma–Lease a Bike), followed by Isaac del Toro (+3:27) and Remco Evenepoel (+3:30). After attacking on the Col du Tourmalet, he has clearly distanced his main rivals. As a three-time Tour winner (2020, 2024, 2025) with UAE Team Emirates as strong support, he is the dominant favorite. 15 stages remain until Paris (July 26). Source: CyclingNews / Olympics.com.

Polymarket gives Republicans 57.5% and Kalshi ~52% odds to retain the Senate majority. Despite rising disapproval over Trump's economic policy and the war in Iran, Democrats face a difficult map: of 34 seats up for election, many are in Republican-leaning terrain. CNN identifies 9 likely flip seats – Democrats would need nearly all of them. Market average: ~55% for Republicans. Source: Polymarket / Kalshi / Decrypt, as of July 2026.
The DAX currently trades at approximately 25,118 points (July 9-10, 2026). A year-end close above 27,000 would represent a gain of ~7.5% from today's level and a new all-time high. Drivers: stable ECB policy (rate at 2.25%), strong export performance, potential Eurozone recovery. Headwinds: Iran conflict, US tariffs, cyclical risks. No direct market anchor available; estimate based on historical DAX annual volatility (~15% annualized) and the current uptrend.
The Fed kept rates unchanged at the June 17, 2026 FOMC meeting. New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is a confirmed hawk and has not signaled any rate cut without a sustained decline in inflation. The July meeting (July 29) will be held without new economic projections – not a typical time for policy changes. Despite pressure from President Trump, market expectations per LBBW analysis are clearly aligned with unchanged rates.
The EU Parliament passed the Chat Control regulation on July 9, 2026 via fast-track procedure (414 vs. 224 votes). However, entry into force requires a qualified majority in the EU Council. Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Finland have blocked the measure for years due to data protection and encryption concerns. All previous Chat Control drafts (2022, 2023, 2024) failed in the Council – the pattern continues.
Spain, with two convincing KO-stage wins (including an expected semifinal win against France), is the tournament's strongest team. In a potential final against Argentina on July 19 at MetLife Stadium (New Jersey), Spain would be slight favorites due to collective superiority and defensive strength. Spain's last World Cup win: 2010. Probability accounts for getting through the semifinal and the uncertain final pairing.
