(Sharecast News) - The market spotlight over the coming week will fall squarely on the world's main central banks, with policymakers at the Federal Reserve, Bank of England and Bank of Japan all due to meet to decide on policy.
In the case of the US, on Wednesday investors will be keen to see if rate-setters in Washington DC push back on market expectations for rate cuts and to what degree.
Back on home turf, on the following day, the Monetary Policy Committee will announce its own decision on rates, even as market participants openly question talk of possible rate hikes.
On that note, CMC Markets UK´s Michael Hewson told clients: "Recent noises from Bank of England officials do appear to be clouding the picture with respect to interest rates with chief economist Andrew Haldane, as well as external member of the MPC Michael Saunders warning about the prospect for higher rates.
"With the Brexit deadline extended to October and the latest economic data showing signs of softening, any talk of rate hikes is increasingly looking detached from reality, whatever these two policy makers might have you believe."
Investors in the UK will also be monitoring the televised Conservative party leadership debate, on Tuesday.
Across the Channel, the German ZEW institute's economic confidence index for June is also due on Tuesday, followed by a preliminary reading on IHS Markit's euro area manufacturing and services sectors Purchasing Managers' Indices, for the month of June, on Friday
