The Fed and the Bank of Japan keep interest rates unchanged, and Powell will deliver a monetary policy report
According to Wu, the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan both kept their interest rates unchanged last week. The Federal Reserve's interest rate cap is 4.50%, and the Bank of Japan's policy rate is 0.5%. The Swiss National Bank cut its interest rate by 25 basis points to zero, and the Bank of England maintained its interest rate at 4.25%.
Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said that if the economic outlook is realized, he will consider raising interest rates. This week, attention will be paid to Powell's semi-annual monetary policy report in the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as economic indicators such as the US core PCE in May.
