UK inflation: Wednesday, 8:30. The Bank of England may be content that the annual level of consumer price index has hit 2.1% – almost at the BOE’s 2% target. Core CPI stood at 1.8% while retail prices were somewhat higher at 3%. The fresh figures for May will likely show a slide in headline CPI due to falling energy prices, but core CPI may refrain from substantial movements.

Fed decision: Wednesday, 18:00, press conference 18:30. The Fed has removed any intention to raise interest rates in 2019 – and may now signal rate cuts. Markets are already pricing in two cuts this year with the first one coming in the July meeting that follows this one. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has already moved from dismissing low inflation in the first quarter as “transitory” and stressing “patience” means no hikes nor cuts – to ditching the patient stance and saying he we will “act as appropriate.” The US economy is doing well, but the recent disappointing US jobs report which missed on both job gains and wages may cause a rethink at the central bank. Moreover, the previous rate decision came just days before US-Sino talks broke down. The Fed may be unable to ignore politics and may have to incorporate headwinds to global trade in its outlook.

But how far will it go? The first thing markets will be watching is the dot-plot. The Fed releases projections for inflation, growth, employment, and most importantly  – interest rates – once a quarter. As mentioning earlier, markets are expecting two rate cuts this year. If the Fed continues signaling no cuts or only one, the greenback may storm higher and stocks could plunge. Indicating two cuts may weigh on the USD and going as aggressive as three – highly unlikely – would send the greenback plunging.

If the shift in the dots is extreme, nothing else matters. However, if the Fed signals one or two cuts, the focus will quickly shift to the statement. How worried is the Fed about inflation? Will they incorporate fears about trade in the statement? Were there any dissenters that wanted a rate cut now? All these factors may have a substantial impact.

Last but not least, Chair Powell speaks half an hour after the news is out. Several months ago, he said that the economy is doing very well. How will he characterize the situation now? Comments about the next moves in interest rates will likely have the most significant impact, followed by comments about inflation and trade. His presser will be scrutinized for every word and the echoes from the decision will likely be heard for days.

New Zealand GDP: Wednesday, 22:45. The economy of the small island nation has enjoyed a robust growth rate of 0.6% in the last quarter of 2018, and 2019 has probably begun on a softer note. The impact of the trade wars and lower business confidence may have hurt New Zealand, which publishes GDP data only once – without revisions.
