Focus this week is also on the European Central Bank (ECB) policy meeting on Thursday when policymakers are expected to announce a 25-basis point rate hike to 4.25% and offer guidance for the final stages of their efforts to fight inflation, although it recently signaled that an end to its rate hike cycle is close.

The European Central Bank signaled earlier this month that it could be ready to pause on rate hikes from September onward, with investors focusing on what ECB President Christine Lagarde says about the future of the tightening cycle and the bloc’s economy.

Eurozone’s central bank has delivered eight consecutive rate rises since July 2022 for a total of 400 basis points to cool inflation that climbed up to 10.6% in December 2022, before retreating to the current levels of 5.5% in June, down from 6.1% in May, but still well above ECB’s 2% annual target. https://www.investing.com/economic-calendar/cpi-68

Bank of Japan policy decision on Friday:

Even though investors expect both the Fed and ECB to hike rates by 25 basis points this week, they don’t expect the same for the Bank of Japan, which is leaning towards maintaining its super-loose policy intact, to keep its rate to -0.10%, and the yield curve control policy unchanged, despite elevated price pressure.

Japan’s core inflation rate has come in at 3.3% in June, staying above the BoJ’s 2% target for the 15th straight month, which could add some pressure on the bank to soon begin phasing out its massive monetary stimulus or to make a policy shift.

Federal Reserve policy decision on Wednesday:

U.S. Federal Reserve policymakers will have a two-day policy meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, with investors fully pricing a 25-bps rate hike to 5.50% as the CPI inflation rate still trending above Fed’s 2% annual target range. https://www.investing.com/central-banks/fed-rate-monitor

Investors will have a look also on the statement and comments by Chair Jerome Powell after the conclusion of the meeting, which might give some signals if the Federal Reserve is done with its 16-month adventure of taming inflation with rate hikes, encouraged by the latest cooling of inflation in June.
