The Federal Reserve, Bank of Japan and Bank of England are all set to announce key interest rate decisions this week

BlockBeats news, July 31, including the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England, the three major central banks 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 raise its policy rate from the current 0%-0.1% or send a signal of an upcoming rate hike.

The Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision in the early hours of Thursday Beijing time. Although few people think that the Fed will start cutting interest rates immediately, almost everyone expects the Fed to indicate that it will cut interest rates at its next meeting in mid-September.

The Bank of England will announce its policy decision early Thursday afternoon, and economists and interest rate markets are roughly evenly divided on whether the central bank will ease policy for the first time in several years. More certain is that even if the Bank of England does cut interest rates, it may indicate that it is taking a very cautious approach, that is, suggesting to the market that a series of loose policies should not be expected.
