Economic Calendar: FOMC Minutes & Housing Data in Focus

10:08 am 19 February 2025

All eyes will be on the FOMC meeting minutes for insights into the Fed's thinking on rates and inflation amid escalating trade tensions. Markets will also digest key US housing data and mortgage applications, while earlier releases showed the RBNZ cutting rates by 50bps and continued weakness in Chinese property prices. Several bond auctions across major markets will provide additional direction. UK inflation data came slightly higher than expected, while core stayed in line with economist predictions.
