Week Ahead for FX, Bonds: Decisions From Fed, Other Central Banks in Focus

The week ahead is set to be dominated by interest-rate decisions from several major central banks, including the Federal Reserve, which is widely expected to hold rates steady but with future hikes anticipated. Other central banks in Canada, the eurozone, Japan, New Zealand, and Thailand are also scheduled to announce policy decisions. Additionally, the European Central Bank's meeting comes amid budget uncertainty in France, which has led to a spike in French borrowing costs, and the UK government's budget presentation will also be closely watched. Key economic data releases include growth figures from South Korea and Taiwan, and China's industrial profits and activity surveys.
