The New Week begins with weekends in New Zealand, Australia and Europe. New Zealand and Australia have another holiday on Thursday. There are, however, several key reports among the weekends. On Wednesday there is a decision on the base interest rate in Canada. Although no change in the rates currently at 1.75% is expected, the press conference will show whether the central bank will take on the Fed and ECB paths with more passive thinking and waiting. In Japan, we expect the same solution from the Bank of Japan, and the situation will be the same.
In addition to economic news, there are many other factors that traders will pay attention to and which will have a major impact on pricing and asset movements.
Big European banks will report their earnings for the first quarter next week, and some investors are afraid that bad results would bring a big deal of volatility to capital markets. Some analysts have expressed their concerns about them, due to external risks such as economic growth, uncertainty about the US-China trade relationship, Brexit, and the reverse turnaround in the monetary policy of the major central banks around the world.
European banks have been suffering for years of weak profits, huge fines, ultra-low monetary policy, and uncertainty around the UK. US banks, on the other hand, particularly large, such as J.P. Morgan and City have very strong retail operations that make them resilient in times of economic difficulty. In the US, the results remain mixed for the moment, but we will still see what will happen on the Old Continent.
