The Reserve Bank of Australia is set to deliver a 25 basis point rate hike on Tuesday, 4:30 am GMT. This looks like a done deal and focus will be on guidance. Major financial institutions are divided - some see this as a final hike before pause, others see RBA hiking through the first half of 2023. There is a scope for surprise and AUDUSD will be on watch. The pair may also be impacted by some USD volatility on Wednesday at 2:00 am GMT when US President Biden delivers the annual State of the Union address.

OIL

The EU ban on seaborne imports of Russian refined oil products will be implemented next week. While the EU has managed to replace Russian crude to a huge extent, it may not be so easy with oil products, especially diesel. This story could be a mover for OIL throughout next week. Apart from that, prices may also move on regular inventory reports - API on Tuesday and official US report on Wednesday.

US500

Wall Street gained following the latest FOMC decision and, especially, Powell's presser which were seen as dovish. However, earnings reports from Big Tech companies have put some pressure on stock markets by the end of the week. Earnings may remain a driver for stock markets next week as well with a very diverse stream of reports. Among highlights one can find Activision Blizzard (Monday), Walt Disney (Wednesday) or PayPal (Thursday).
