Global Central Banks Face Inflation Worries Amid Economic Reports
September 18, 2023
Central Banks in Focus
This week, the Federal Reserve, Bank of England, and Bank of Japan are set to face scrutiny amid growing inflation concerns. The central banks of Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland are also expected to announce their rate decisions, creating a wave of anticipation. In the U.S. specifically, the Fed’s FOMC is not expected to hike rates (full preview), however, there is potential for a shift towards more hawkish sentiments following an unexpected robust inflation report for August.
Economic Reports on the Agenda
Key economic updates scheduled for the coming week include details on housing starts, crude oil inventories, and initial jobless claims. This week may also usher in heightened political tension as the countdown to a potential government shutdown on October 1 continues.
