Free AccessMNI GLOBAL WEEK AHEAD: Fed, SNB, Norges & BOE to Meet
After a volatile week in markets, next week’s Fed, SNB, Norges and BOE rate decisions could see a variety of outcomes.
MONDAY
Germany Producer Prices: German factory-gate inflation is projected to cool for a fifth consecutive month in February, with consensus looking for a 3.1pp deceleration to +14.5% y/y. January and February deadline PPI will likely be revised down in the March release as the delayed effects of the electricity and gas price breaks will be taken into account.
TUESDAY
Germany ZEW Survey: The ZEW survey of financial market experts will likely see outlooks fall back in March due to financial market turmoil. Around a ten-point reduction in survey expectations is currently pencilled in.
Canada CPI: Canadian inflation is expected to ease further by around 0.5bp to +5.4% y/y in February, after having cooled to +5.9% y/y in January.
At their March meeting, the BOC held the overnight rate at 4.5% as unanimously expected as it drew a potentially temporary end to the 425bp hiking cycle started last March. The Bank still sees CPI inflation coming down to around 3% in the middle of this year.
WEDNESDAY
UK CPI: UK inflation is seen lower again in February, with consensus looking for a 0.3pp deceleration to +9.8% y/y. Prices are expected to pick up on the month, accelerating by +0.5% m/m after having fallen -0.6% m/m in January. Further signs of cooling core CPI will be watched for. This data will feed into the Thursday rate announcement.
FOMC Rate Decision: The Federal Reserve still looks like it could hike 25bp next week, after another strong payrolls report and sticky core pressures warranting another hike. A break in its interest rate increases at its March meeting is however on the table against the current backdrop of turmoil in global financial markets.
THURSDAY
Swiss National Bank Rate Decision: A 50bp hike to 1.5% is pencilled in for the SNB on Thursday, which would be their third hike in this cycle. This follows the upside surprise to January inflation, which edged up to +3.4% y/y a record high for Swiss core CPI of +2.5% y/y. Financial market stress has increased substantially over the last week as the SNB stepped in to provide a liquidity backstop for flailing Credit Suisse. Current financial strain in markets is at current not seen to deter the SNB for now but remains a very real possibility.
Norges Bank Rate Decision: Norges Bank is likely to hike 25bp to 3.00% at their March meeting, also likely for now to be undeterred from financial market strains. The slowdown in headline and core CPI in February made a 50bp hike less likely.
Bank of England Rate Decision: The BOE’s March rate announcement will be a close call between no hike and 25bp. Recent financial market volatility will likely have influenced the BOE to shy away from further tightening, whilst, albeit cooling, still elevated CPI (barring the possibility of surprises to Feb data) and inflation expectations would underpin a decision to hike.
FRIDAY
UK Consumer Confidence / Retail Sales: UK consumer confidence is forecasted to improve by another three points to -35 in March after surprising to the upside in February. Despite recent improvements, all sub-indices remain severely depressed, implying that spending will remain pressured in the near term, along with growth.
In line with this, UK February retail sales are likely to be only marginally above a flat reading. The BOE's February projections expect household consumption to fall in H1 and rise again from Q3.
Spain Final GDP: The Spanish economy grew +0.2% q/q, in the flash estimate, holding pace with Q3. The Spanish Statistics Institute flagged that Q4 provisional data is based on substantially less information than regular quarterly flash estimates. As such, a revision to Q4 growth is on the cards.
March Flash PMIs: Flash March PMI data for the eurozone, UK and US is anticipated to convey common themes of a small cooldown in services (which have recently re-entered expansive territory), as demand eases slightly. Meanwhile modest upticks are expected across manufacturing, underpinned by easing supply pressures, despite the PMIs largely remaining below the 50 breakeven level.
