Free AccessMNI GLOBAL WEEK AHEAD: Fed In Focus
The Federal Reserve's January policy decision will be the highlight of the week, with investors awaiting signals towards a March rate hike.
Bank of Canada faces inflation at 3-year high (Weds 1500 GMT)
The Bank of Canada could use the recent surge in prices rises, with inflation at 1 30-year high of 4.8%, to raise rates Wednesday, removing some of the rate cuts in place since the start of the reaction to the global pandemic in March 2020.
- Current guidance currently puts the focus on hikes in the 'middle quarters' of 2022, although markets are now pricing a greater than 50/50 chance of an earlier hike than the earliest suggested April.
- The benchmark rate is currently at 0.25%, with some analysts looking fir a total 1.75% of hikes in 2022, taking the rate to 2.0%.
- A recent Bank survey shows inflation expectations at a record high 4.89% -- further reason for policymaker unease.
- A surge is Omicron infections could offer pause to tightening signals as the BOC may see some downside risk -- although that could be balanced against the risk of higher inflationary pressures.
- Governor Tiff Macklem will speak following the decision, offering further clarity on the Bank's thinking.
- Most analysts expect the Fed to signal a 25 bps hike in March, although there are some suggestions of a50 bps hike.
- Financial markets are currently pricing in a 25 bps hike in March and a total of 4 quarter-point increases this year.
- Like the BOC, Omicron is a variable, although downside risks to the economy are unlikely to be enough to stall the move to tighter policy.
- An immediate end to the Asset purchase programme is a wildcard possibility, but without any signaling from policymakers seems at best an outside chance.
