Economic calendar: BoC rate decision, Fed speakers

7:34 AM 7 September 2022
  • European stock markets set for a lower opening

  • Bank of Canada expected to deliver 75 bp rate hikes

  • Speeches from Fed members, BoE Governor testimony

Futures markets point to a lower opening of a cash trading session on the Old Continent today. Rising yields and recession fears are playing a major role in recent risk-off moods. Disappointing trade data from China released overnight added to concerns over global growth.

A top-tier event in today's economic calendar is the interest rate decision announcement from the Bank of Canada. Economists expect a 75 bp rate hike and such an outcome is also priced-in by the markets. Apart from that, oil traders will be offered a weekly API report on oil inventories. Last but not least, a range of Fed members are set to speak today so USD traders beware. GBP traders may want to stay on guard at 10:00 am BST as Governor Bailey and other BoE members will testify to Parliament's Treasury Committee.
