For a more comprehensive preview of next week's events, please refer to "The Monday Report", published each Monday morning. For all economic data release dates, ex-div dates and times and other relevant information, please refer to the <\/em>FNArena Calendar<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

By Thursday morning local time the Fed will have hiked its cash rate by 25 basis points, to a 0.25-0.50% range. Jay Powell has indicated such. What Wall Street will hang on, from the statement and the press conference, will be what the next step is going to be.<\/p>\n

The market is pricing in a 100% chance of hikes in all of March, May and June (note meetings are six-weekly, not monthly), about an 80% chance in July, and then positive but lower chances for each subsequent meeting this year.<\/p>\n

The Banks of England and Japan also hold policy meetings next week.<\/p>\n

The US will release February wholesale inflation (PPI) numbers on Tuesday, along with retail sales.<\/p>\n

Data are also due for housing starts, industrial production, existing home sales and the Empire State and Philly Fed indices.<\/p>\n

New Zealand will release its December quarter GDP result on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Australian February jobs numbers are due on Thursday, and on the same day March quarter equity derivatives will expire.<\/p>\n

All we need is a bit more volatility.<\/p>\n

On Friday the ASX index changes, announced last week, become effective.<\/p>\n

In the local stock market, the ex-dividend season rolls on, although most of the biggies are now past us.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
