On July 30, Korean time, the global financial market's attention is focused on the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) announcement that the advance estimate for U.S. second-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rose by 1.5%.

The U.S. GDP, a representative indicator showing the economic trend of the world's largest economy, is serving as a key benchmark for evaluating the sustainability of the current economic expansion, corporate investment, and consumption conditions through this 1.5% growth announcement.

In particular, investors are paying close attention to this figure as it could have a direct impact on future U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) benchmark interest rate forecasts. Accordingly, it remains to be seen what ripple effects this will have on the overall financial market, including the U.S. stock market and the virtual asset market.

Meanwhile, market investors are expected to comprehensively analyze the details of this GDP release along with the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index and employment indicators released on the same day, while keeping a close watch on the future direction of the U.S. economy and potential shifts in the Fed's monetary policy stance.
