China's Data Dump Sparks Risky Monday Market Mindset

Asian markets are expected to continue with a positive risk sentiment this week, driven by confidence in the US economic 'soft landing' and easing financial conditions. China's upcoming 'data dump' including import and export figures, bank lending, credit, money supply, and inflation data will provide insights into the country's economic performance in the fourth quarter. Other key indicators to watch include consumer inflation readings from Thailand, the Philippines, and Taiwan, as well as GDP figures from the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. The Reserve Bank of Australia's rate decision, Bank of Korea's policy meeting minutes, and Bank of Japan's summary of board members' opinions will also be closely monitored. Emerging and Asian markets may have room to catch up and potentially outperform after underperforming their US and global peers last week.

Central Bank Decisions and Fed Fireworks: European Markets Nervously Slide

European investors should brace themselves for policy decisions from four major central banks, including the Bank of England, following the market turbulence caused by the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance. The surge in Treasury yields and decline in stocks indicate that Chair Jay Powell's comments were more hawkish than anticipated. Asian shares slumped, U.S. yields rose, and U.S. stock futures pointed lower. European equities are expected to open lower. The Bank of England's decision will be closely watched, as conflicting forces make it a finely balanced call on whether to hike or maintain rates. The central bank bonanza continues with policy decisions from the SNB, Riksbank, and Norges Bank, followed by the Bank of Japan's highly scrutinized decision on Friday.

Global Perspectives on Inflation and Interest Rates

Policymakers around the world are grappling with rising inflation as disruptions caused by the pandemic continue to drive prices higher. Central banks have been raising interest rates in an attempt to control inflation, but there is a delicate balance between curbing prices and avoiding a major recession. Many central banks are focused on fighting stubbornly high inflation, as letting it persist for too long could make it more difficult to address. Inflation remains above target rates in major economies, and central banks are expected to continue raising rates to bring it under control.
