Investors eye US inflation report on wednesday after disappointing jobs data
We're seeing a slightly softer trading session on Tuesday as investors eye crucial inflation data on Wednesday. We've finally reached the point at which the Federal Reserve may be at the end of its tightening cycle and we can start to look forward to when it can feasibly begin to ease policy in order to offset any shock to the economy. But in order for either of these to occur, we need to see evidence in the data that the Fed is on a path to 2% starting tomorrow. The FOMC will not hesitate to ra

Investors cautious ahead of the Fed and ECB later in the week
Investors appear to be treading carefully ahead of some key interest rate announcements this week, most notably the Fed on Wednesday but also the ECB one day later. Eurozone inflation data for April didn't throw up any nasty surprises a couple of days before the central bank makes its decision, rising slightly to 7% as expected, while core stayed stubbornly high at 5.6%. A 25 basis point rate hike is now heavily backed with one or two more to come over the following months.

US This week will be extremely busy as we have an FOMC decision, the nonfarm payroll report, peak earnings season, all while Wall Street keeps an eye on the banking industry to see if any news stresses arise.  The FOMC meeting is expected to have policymakers deliver one more quarter-point rate rise, possibly leaving the door open for one more.
