Upcoming Central Bank Meetings to Shape Global Outlook

Moderate inflation data + rising unemployment claims have increased chances of a 25 bps Fed rate cut in September.

U.S. consumer confidence just hit its lowest since May.

Long-term inflation expectations have now risen two months in a row.

Markets may pay more attention to President Trump’s press conference and the Fed’s new dot plot than the cut itself.
