Economic calendar: Fed’s interest-rate decision on Wednesday 📄

Key takeaways
Key takeaways
  • Fed’s interest-rate decision on Wednesday
  • we will also get decisions from the ECB, BOJ, and BOC

We’re starting an interesting new week on the financial markets. Although today’s calendar is exceptionally empty, important economic events await later in the week.

The most important, of course, is the Fed’s interest-rate decision on Wednesday. After Friday’s inflation data, the market is fully pricing in two cuts at the next two meetings. More important, however, will be the Fed’s communication and a possible announcement of the end of balance-sheet reduction (QT).

This week we will also get decisions from the ECB, BOJ, and BOC. On Thursday, Trump will meet with China’s president, Xi. The market expects a trade agreement between the two countries.
