What investors will be watching over the next seven days

Global markets are heading into what promises to be another volatile week, as investors fret stocks might be looking too pricey and even a reasonably solid earnings season so far hasn’t been able to soothe those jitters.Around half of the world’s developed-market central banks have started cutting interest rates - the Bank of England did so on Aug. 1 and the Federal Reserve is teeing up a cut for September.
