Tuesday, June 13
On Tuesday, traders will focus on US inflation data. Inflationary pressures are expected to decline, which will increase the likelihood of the US Federal Reserve pausing on Wednesday. Traders should also be focused on the labor market data in Great Britain and on the level of inflation in Germany.
Main events of the day:
Wednesday, June 14
On Wednesday, all investors' attention will be focused on the Fed's monetary policy meeting. The Fed is inclined to keep interest rates unchanged. Market watchers will be closely watching Powell's press conference after the policy meeting, as well as the Fed's updated economic forecasts. Volatility on U.S. dollar currency pairs, US indices and gold will rise. Investors should also keep a close eye on factory inflation data (PPI) in the US, as well as the UK GDP data.
Main events of the day:
Thursday, June 15
Thursday will start with important GDP data for New Zealand, which is published once a quarter. GDP is expected to show a contraction, which will be the second negative quarter and point to a technical recession. China's data will be scrutinized for a rebound in the world's largest economy. Volatility in Asian markets will be elevated. Investors should also not miss the ECB's monetary policy meeting where interest rates are expected to rise further.
Main events of the day:
Friday, June 16
The main event to watch on Friday is the Japan central bank meeting. The Bank of Japan is expected to stick to its ultra-soft monetary policy, but the pressure to change course is growing as rising yield differentials push the yen to multi-year lows. It is also important for investors to analyze the CPI data in the Eurozone. The main focus will be on core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices. A sharp decline in inflation may revise the ECB to stop the growth of interest rates earlier than planned.
