The Week Ahead – 18 February 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, it’s a holiday shortened week but we have core PCE, Inflation expectations and key Fed speakers. In Europe a big focus will be on Russia/Ukraine tensions, but also surveys such as the PMIs. Finally, a look at BOJ JGB purchases, the RBNZ meeting, the energy crisis, COVID-19 trends and the events in Asia ahead.
