A pivotal week awaits global markets as major central banks, led by the Federal Reserve, Bank of England, and People’s Bank of China, set the tone for monetary policy. The Fed is expected to hold rates steady, but its updated projections and “dot plot” will shape market expectations. The BoE is likely to keep rates unchanged at 4.5%, navigating between slowing growth and stubborn inflation, while Switzerland could surprise with a rate cut. In the US, retail sales, industrial production, and housing market data will provide fresh insights into economic resilience. Across Europe, Germany’s ZEW sentiment, Eurozone inflation, and UK labor market data will be closely watched. China’s economic health will be assessed through retail sales, industrial output, and fixed-asset investment, while Japan’s inflation and trade figures could hint at the BoJ’s next steps. Meanwhile, Canada’s inflation is expected to tick higher, and Brazil and Mexico will announce key rate decisions. With global markets on edge, this week’s economic signals could drive the next major market moves.
