The Week Ahead: 24th – 28th July 2023

Overview for the Week Ahead

This week will be dominated by central bank meetings, with the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank both poised to deliver rate hikes, while the Bank of Japan stands pat.

With the Fed all but certain to raise interest rates again at the conclusion of its latest policy setting meeting on Wednesday, investors are focusing their attention on whether this is likely to be the final hike of its tightening cycle.

The ECB is widely expected to deliver another 25-basis point rate hike at its upcoming meeting on Thursday, so all eyes are on the central bank’s plans for September, with markets divided on whether there will be another hike or a pause.

Friday’s monetary policy decision by the BoJ will be keenly anticipated amid ongoing speculation that policymakers could adjust their ultra-loose monetary stance amid elevated price pressures.

Oil prices rose nearly 2% on Friday to notch up a fourth consecutive weekly gain, buoyed by growing evidence of supply shortages in the coming months and rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine that could further hit supplies.
