The Week Ahead: 10th – 14th July 2023

Overview for the Week Ahead

Inflation in the US likely continued to soften in June, but a key measure of underlying price pressures is still running at an uncomfortable pace that keeps the Federal Reserve tilted toward resuming interest-rate hikes this month.

The Bank of Canada sets rates and unveils new economic forecasts on Wednesday this week. Governor Macklem has got plenty of reason to hike again, after upending markets with a 25 basis-point increase last month. Growth is coming in stronger than forecast, inflation is proving stubborn, and the housing market is rebounding — in part because of Macklem’s rate pause.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is set to hold policy on Wednesday, having called time on its hiking cycle, while Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Philip Lowe will speak after the recent decision to keep policy unchanged there.

The UK will take centre stage at a time when bets on Bank of England interest rates have surged to the highest level in a quarter century.

Any financial stability implications of such speculation may feature in the latest assessment of system risks and stress tests by the central bank, to be released on Wednesday, along with a press conference by Governor Andrew Bailey.
