The Week Ahead – 14 January 2022

In this episode of our Week Ahead series, we’ll be looking at the main themes that will drive global markets over the coming week. In the US, we have a relatively quiet week with the Fed’s blackout period so Omicron trends may dominate. In Europe we have a lot of key UK data as well as European growth surveys. We also discuss what might happen to Boris Johnson with the release of a politically important report. Finally, a quick wrap-up on the state of the energy crisis, Russia/NATO talks, COVID-19 trends and events in Asia.
