The inflation report set for Wednesday is the final key data before the RBA’s Feb. 2–3 meeting, arriving as household budgets are under pressure. Markets have swung sharply between “hold” and “hike” bets, with tiny shifts in inflation numbers tipping the scales.

  • Ford Drops 2.4% After Q2 U.S. Sales Slump, Inventories Build Up
    July 2, 2026, 3:55 PM EDT. Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) shares dropped 2.4% to $13.32 after Q2 U.S. vehicle sales fell 10.3% to 549,200 units. Ford finished June with 471,000 vehicles on hand, about 78 days of supply at the quarter's sales pace. F-Series truck supply was even larger, with 88 days' worth on lots. Battery electric vehicle sales tumbled 40.7%, accounting for only 1.8% of volume. F-Series made up 36% of Ford's total sales. Ford pinned the weaker sales on model phase-outs and lighter fleet sales. Investors are watching whether Ford can offload the swollen F-Series inventory in the back half without resorting to big discounts.
