Weekly Market Preview

Week Ahead Preview:
17th of March

 

Friday, 14th of March 2025

Markets are closely monitoring a series of economic data and key central bank decisions that could influence price movements. One of the most anticipated events is the Federal Open Market Committee meeting, where policymakers are expected to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.5%. Investors will also analyze the Fed’s updated forecasts for growth and inflation amid recession concerns, as well as the voting “dot plot,” which outlines committee members’ projections for future rate changes in the short, medium, and long term.

Additionally, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference will be closely watched for insights into the Fed’s stance on economic performance, stock market corrections, and how it balances its dual mandate—maintaining price stability while keeping unemployment low.

Markets are also awaiting the Bank of Japan’s interest rate decision, which is expected to remain at 0.5%, as well as the Bank of England’s decision to hold rates steady at 4.5%. However, investors will scrutinize the Bank of England’s meeting minutes to gauge the likelihood of a future rate cut. A higher number of votes in favor of easing at this meeting would signal a greater chance of a rate cut in the next.

Meanwhile, traders expect the Swiss National Bank to cut rates by 25 basis points, from 0.50% to 0.25%. The Swiss central bank’s policy outlook will also be clarified in a press conference by its president.
