This week marks the most significant central bank decision week of the year, with the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of Japan, and Bank of Canada all announcing their interest rate decisions. This concentration of policy events could lead to significant volatility across global asset prices. Concurrently, geopolitical signals from the APEC Leaders’ Summit will also influence market risk appetite. Against a backdrop of continued uncertainty in the economic growth and inflation outlook, the language within the major central banks’ policy statements will be the crucial factor for markets in deciphering the future path of interest rates.

Key Event to Watch:
The outcome of the Federal Reserve’s latest monetary policy meeting this Thursday remains uncertain. If a rate cut occurs, investors should focus on Chairman Powell’s commentary on sticky inflation during the press conference, as well as any details regarding adjustments to the pace of the balance sheet runoff (quantitative tightening). These elements will significantly impact the trajectory of U.S. stocks, the dollar, and the liquidity of U.S. Treasuries.

The Bank of Japan will announce its interest rate decision this Thursday. With a new prime minister in place, the market is focused on whether the BoJ will alter its future monetary policy. If the central bank concludes that a virtuous wage-inflation cycle has been established, it will increase the pressure for a policy adjustment. Such a move could boost the recently weakened Japanese yen.

The European Central Bank is set to announce its rate decision on Thursday. While the market expects the deposit rate to be held steady, the focus will be entirely on any changes to the wording of the policy statement. Furthermore, President Lagarde’s statements at the press conference will be particularly critical. If she once again mentions that “risks to economic growth are tilted to the downside,” it could signal the start of a rate-cutting cycle in December.
