Central Banks: Monetary policy reviews take place next week in the United States, Japan, U.K., Switzerland, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, Brazil, and Norway. Minutes of the last Australian central bank policy meeting will be published. The FOMC is likely to cut the fed funds rate target and will update macroeconomic and interest rate projections, and Chairman Powell will hold a press conference on Wednesday. Lane and Coeure of the ECB will also speak publicly.
Holidays and Special Anniversaries: Japan’s Respect for the Aged Day and Mexican Independence Day will be observed Monday. With Britain still trying to find acceptable terms for leaving the European Union, Monday will mark the 27th anniversary of Black Friday, when the pound withdrew from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, thus ending any chance of that country adopting the euro as its currency. In June 1972, Britain also had been forced by market forces to end the pound’s participation in the European Community’s “Snake in the Tunnel.”
