The week’s main event will be the US inflation data on Wednesday. Inflation is expected to continue to decline and fall to 2.6% in annualized terms. This will increase the probability that the US Fed may cut the rate by 0.5% in September to reduce the economic impact. On Tuesday, the UK labor market data will be released, and a weak report may increase the likelihood of a rate cut by the Bank of England at the next meeting. On Thursday, the ECB will make its interest rate decision. Economists and money markets agree that the ECB will cut the rate by 0.25%. Also worth keeping an eye on this week is inflation and trade balance data from China.

On Tuesday, traders should pay attention to the UK labor market data. This month, these reports will influence the Bank of England’s interest rate decision. A weak labor market amid falling inflation will increase the likelihood of a rate cut by the Bank of England. This will be a negative scenario for the pound. Also, on Tuesday, there will be an inflation report for Germany. Inflation is expected to fall from 2.3% to 1.9% annually.

星期三, September 11
The main event on Wednesday will be the US consumer inflation data. Experts see signs of falling inflationary pressures and expect the figures to decline from 2.9% to 2.6% year-on-year. This will increase the likelihood of a 50 bps rate cut at next week’s US Fed meeting. Also, on Wednesday, it is worth noting that the UK GDP data is expected to show slow growth. Investors should also focus on the US crude oil reserves, which significantly impact oil prices. Oil prices are now under pressure from weak demand and seasonality, so lower inventories could support prices.

The European Central Bank will hold a monetary policy meeting on Thursday. It is almost 100% likely that the ECB will cut the rate by 0.25%. Therefore, investors will focus on Lagarde’s speech at the press conference. If Lagarde hints at further rate cuts, the euro may come under pressure. Data dependence, on the contrary, may support the euro. US producer inflation data should also not be missed as it is a leading indicator of consumer inflation.
