Last week, the US Federal Reserve led a meeting with senior central banks to discuss monetary policy. As expected, they decided to pause their year-long cycle of interest rate hikes in order to assess its impact on inflation and the country's economic outlook.
The Fed also indicated that there might be a rate hike in the near future, considering that consumer prices are still more than double their target of 2%. However, they emphasized the importance of upcoming economic data to justify these potential moves.
This week, the focus will be on economic data related to the US housing market, first-time jobless claims, and the current account. Additionally, there will be two days of national hearings where Powell will address both houses of Congress.
