The US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced that following its last six substantial interest rate hikes in 2022, the government agency would push another hike on December 14 with a 75% chance to hike it by 50 basis points.
Simultaneously, the central banks of Europe and Great Britain plan to release their interest hike announcements in the same week, alongside the US publishing its November inflation figures that will determine the path for the Federal Reserve’s policy decision for the rest of 2023.
Hence, marks the beginning of the “Super Central Bank Week.”
