The Dow Jones Index continued its strong bull run last week as it neared its all-time high. It has jumped in the last six consecutive days, and is trading at $44,828, a few points below its all-time high of $45,045. It is up by over 22% from its lowest point in April. 

This article looks at some of the top catalysts for the Dow Jones Index this week. These factors will also impact other top American indices, such as the blue-chip S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100.

Trade war deadline

The first major catalyst for the Dow Jones Index is the upcoming trade war deadline by Donald Trump. This deadline, which ends on Monday, will likely bring back trade tensions that faded a few months ago.

Trump has reached trade deals with just a few countries, like China, Vietnam, and the United Kingdom. Talks with other major economies like the European Union, Japan, and South Korea have not made any progress in the past few months. 

Most importantly, Trump has warned that tariffs forthe European Union could jump to 50% if there is no deal. 

Therefore, the US stock market will react to how these trade talks evolve. The return of the trade war will likely lead to a deep reversal of the Dow Jones and other indices. Trade deals, as we saw with the one on Vietnam, will be bullish for the index.

Corporate earnings

The other top catalyst for the Dow Jones and other indices is corporate earnings by some notable American companies. These earnings will come a week before the start of the earnings season, which will be watched closely because of the impact of the tade war. 

The most notable companies publishing their earnings this week are Delta Aie Lines, Conagra Brands, Levi Strauss, and Wipro. While these companies are not part of the Dow Jones, they will have an impact because they will provide more information about the state of the economy during the tariff era.

FOMC minutes

The other top catalyst for the Dow Jones Index will be the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes of the last meeting. These minutes, which comes out on Wednesday, will provide more information about the last meeting.

Most importantly, they will provide more color on what to expect in the next meetings and the potential future of rate cuts. Still, the minutes will likely not move the Dow Jones as it normally does because of the last nonfarm payrolls (NFP) data.

The data showed that the economy added over 147,000 jobs while the unemployment rate dropped to 4.1%. Therefore, these numbers mean that the economy is doing well, meaning that interest rate cuts will be unnecessary this month. 

Most analysts are now predicting that the Fed will start cutting rates in its July meeting. 

Trump and Elon Musk feud

The other notable catalyst for the Dow Jones Index will be the ongoing feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. This feud could accelerate after Musk announced the launch of the American Party following the approval of the Big Beautiful Bill last week. 

Musk has condemned the bill, which eliminated some clean energy credits and increased public spending substantially, eliminating the impact of his work at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
