This week isn't about one central bank.
It's about three delivering decisions across three days, with the Fed's forecast heading higher into Wednesday's announcement.
(Forecasts vs previous data below, actuals will drive the move)
Canadian Inflation Opens The Week
Canadian inflation and early ECB commentary set the tone ahead of a heavy central bank week.
UK Labour Market Checked
Labour data offers an early read on the UK ahead of Wednesday's inflation release.
The Fed Takes Centre Stage
This is the key day of the week.
- UK CPI → inflation trend into the BOE's own decision Thursday
- Federal Funds Rate → forecast points toward a higher rate path
- FOMC Projections → updated dot plot and forward guidance
- Press Conference → confirmation of the pace of tightening
Policy takes centre stage.
The BOE Decides
A second central bank decision meets US manufacturing and labour data.
The BOJ Closes The Week
A third central bank decision closes the week alongside UK consumer spending.
Central Bank Backdrop, Rates Remain Restrictive
Interest rate divergence continues to shape capital flows across global markets.
The Bigger Picture
- Three central banks deliver decisions within the same week
- The Fed's projections carry the most weight for the medium-term rate path
- UK inflation and labour data will shape the BOE's own guidance
- Retail sales on both sides of the Atlantic test consumer resilience
Everything builds into inflation vs growth vs policy.
Actual data vs expectations = the move.
