Meta Platforms (META.O) rose more than 4% in pre-market trading.September 9th - At least a third of Federal Reserve officials said they would consider reducing the frequency of their meetings to set interest rates, providing an early opportunity for Warsh, as the new chairman, to propose one of the biggest structural changes. Whether this idea will be adopted quickly remains uncertain. The Feds policy committee has not yet discussed any details. Some open-minded officials also said they would like to see further analysis of the potential trade-offs and consideration of whether this change is tied to other potential adjustments to the Feds communication strategy. Cleveland Fed President Hammark, Kansas City Fed President Schmid, and Philadelphia Fed President Paulson are among six regional Fed presidents who recently expressed their willingness to reduce the number of regular meetings of the rate-setting committee. Reducing the number of meetings would mark a significant shift in how the Fed operates and differentiate it from its major overseas counterparts, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the Bank of Japan, which all hold eight meetings annually. It is unclear whether officials will discuss Warshs proposal in detail at the policy meeting scheduled for September 15-16. High inflation and the possibility of the first rate hike in three years are likely to dominate the upcoming meeting.Iraqi port officials: Iraqi rescue ships have extinguished the fire on the oil tanker "New Andros," and there are no reports of casualties.September 9th - It is reported that the Shenzhen Financial Regulatory Bureau, in conjunction with relevant departments, recently launched the "Shenzhen Talent Loan" talent finance policy.

The EUR/GBP pair extended its recovery above 0.88 during the Asian trading session. Anticipating that the European Central Bank (ECB) will continue to raise interest rates to combat persistent inflation, the cross has depreciated progressively. Friday will see the publication of preliminary Eurozone Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Q4) figures. Prior to the publication of these figures, it is anticipated that the asset will exhibit explosive activity.

 

It is anticipated that the preliminary Eurozone HICP will decelerate significantly from 8.5% to 7.3%. While it is anticipated that the core HICP will rise to 5.7% from 5.6% in the previous release. Weak energy prices are anticipated to have a significant impact on Eurozone inflation. In light of Christine Lagarde's prediction that inflation will remain elevated for an extended period of time, the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to continue tightening monetary policy.

 

In the interim, banking tensions are subsiding as the absence of information regarding additional collateral damage has a positive impact on the market. Chief Economist Philip Lane stated on Wednesday that ECB interest rates must rise if banking tension has no or a "relatively limited" impact.

 

Investors avidly anticipate the United Kingdom's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data. According to the consensus, the United Kingdom's growth in the fourth quarter of CY2022 remained unchanged. It is anticipated that the annual GDP will remain unchanged at 0.4%. It is expected that the British economy will undergo a severe recession as a result of high inflation and sluggish growth.

 

The Bank of England (BoE) policymakers appear confident that inflation will moderate in the near future and that the unexpected rise in February's inflation was a one-time anomaly; however, the absence of evidence raises doubts. If inflation persists, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey stated that additional rate increases would be announced. In contrast, Bank of America (BoA) analysts anticipate that the Bank of England (BoE) will not increase rates and will maintain current levels until 2024.
