The Week Ahead – 25 March 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 NFP, core PCE inflation to watch along with Fed speakers. In Europe we have flash inflation for March and growth surveys. But also we wait to see if RUB payments for energy go ahead or if this leads to Russia shutting off supply to Europe. Then we have the potential for a surprise from the OPEC meeting. JPY depreciation risks, Australia’s budget, Global COVID-19 trends, the Bank of Thailand and Chinese PMI all to watch out for.
