IG’s Week Ahead: US CPI; Bank of England risk report; US bank earnings

US inflation is the next big number that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will be looking at to see if it’s needing another rise in interest rates. That comes on Thursday, a day after the minutes is released from the last Fed meeting at which it left rates on hold. Also, there’s a big report issued from the Bank of England (BoE) on systemic risk. There’s been a recent survey undertaken by the BoE suggesting that further modelling is needed to close the gaps it sees in the report. In terms of corporate numbers, it’s the start of the third quarter earnings season in the US which should be a good indicator of what’s happening in the States as more and more people find the going tough with interest rates as high as they are with little prospect of them falling any time in the near future.
