Bank of England (BoE) news

The Bank of England (BoE) is the central bank of the United Kingdom. Its primary objective is to maintain price stability, targeting a 2% inflation rate. The BoE uses interest rate adjustments and quantitative easing to influence the economy and achieve its inflation target. It also plays a key role in ensuring financial stability in the UK.

Week Ahead - US CPI data eyed while BoE seeks to get inflation back below 10%
US The labor market is showing signs of resilience, but now the focus shifts back to inflation, with focus on the banking space. The banking system doesn't look ‘sound and resilient’ as more banks come under stress.  US regulators will eventually be forced to act as the banking crisis worsens and that could mean the further unwinding of more banks.   The April inflation report is expected to show that the disinflation process is starting to lose momentum.

Week Ahead - Brace Yourself (Fed, ECB, NFP, Peak Earnings)
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. Disinflation trends need to show they are firmly entrenched for the Fed to take their foot off the tightening pedals.
