According to BlockBeats, the three major central banks, including the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England, will hold policy meetings this week, and the results of each central bank are expected to be at least different.
The Bank of Japan will be the first to announce its decision on Wednesday, and analysts are currently divided on whether the Bank of Japan will increase its policy rate from the current 0%-0.1% or signal an imminent rate hike.
The Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision early Thursday morning 8 am Eastern Time. While few expect the Fed to start cutting rates immediately, almost everyone expects the Fed to indicate that it will cut rates at its next meeting in mid-September.
The Bank of England will announce its policy decision early Thursday afternoon, with economists and interest rate markets roughly evenly split on whether the central bank will ease policy for the first time in several years. More certainly, even if the BoE does cut rates, it is likely to signal a very cautious approach, signaling to markets that a series of easing policies should not be expected.
