Central Banks next week in key focus - BBH
Analysts at Brown Brothers Harriman note that next week, there are several major central bank meetings: Fed, BOJ, BOE, the SNB and Norway's central bank.
Key Quotes:
"Norway is the most likely to ease policy while the BOE is the most likely to stand pat. Of course, the Fed and BOJ are not expected to change policy, but the odds are above zero. Without dramatic euro weakness in response to the ECB meeting, the SNB may not feel a strong sense of urgency. Against the euro, the Swiss franc is below its 100-day moving average."
