After a mixed bag of data released this week, swap traders have reduced their bets on the Federal Reserve's easing policy path. The Dow Jones fell 1.82% this week, the S&P 500 dropped 0.64% ending a three-week winning streak, while the Nasdaq rose 0.34%. Bitcoin has risen for seven consecutive weeks, marking its longest winning streak since 2021. The final significant monetary policy week of 2024 will attract investors' attention. According to statistics, at least 22 central banks, accounting for two-fifths of the global economy, will determine borrowing costs by the close next Friday. The results are likely to highlight that, as policymakers weigh different risks for the coming year, the momentum for easing policies now appears increasingly unbalanced. Here are the key points the market will focus on in the new week: Monday 15:30, ECB President Lagarde speaks; Tuesday 04:45, BoC Governor Macklem speaks; Thursday 03:00, the Fed releases its interest rate decision and economic projections summary; Thursday 03:30, Fed Chair Powell holds a monetary policy press conference; Thursday (exact time TBD), the BoJ announces its interest rate decision; Thursday 14:30, BoJ Governor Ueda holds a monetary policy press conference; Thursday 21:30, the US Q3 actual GDP annualized quarter-on-quarter revision, US Q3 actual personal consumption expenditures quarter-on-quarter preliminary, US December Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index. Notably, the Fed's preferred core inflation gauge — the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE) — will be released next Friday. Economists predict that the PCE for November (excluding food and energy) may rise by 0.2%, the smallest increase in three months. This report will also show robust growth in consumer spending and income, indicating economic resilience.
