Week’s main events (June 17 – June 21)
This week, investors will focus on inflation data from the UK, Eurozone and Japan, as well as the Bank of England (BoE), Swiss National Bank (SNB), Norges Bank(NB), Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and People’s Bank of China (PBoC) meetings. None of the banks are expected to change interest rates this week. A day before the Bank of England meeting, inflation data for May will be published in the UK. The consumer price index is expected to fall to the target level of 2% for the first time in almost three years. In Japan, consumer inflation is forecast to rise, increasing the likelihood of a rate hike from the Bank of Japan (BoJ) at the next meeting. The speeches of the FOMC officials are also worth paying attention to. A hawkish bias by politicians could trigger a sell-off in stock indices and give a new boost to the US dollar.
