June 12, 2026
Central Banks: A slew of monetary authorities will be reviewing monetary policies next week, including those in the United States, Great Britain, Japan, Sweden, Norway, Taiwan, Russia, Ukraine, Pakistan, Brazil, Indonesia, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Moldova, and the Philippines. It will be the first FOMC meeting not chaired by Jerome Powell in eight year. That baton has been passed on to Kevin Warsh, a former Fed Governor who’ll preside over the press conference following the Fed’s interest rate decision. Update macroeconomic forecasts will then be unveiled, but the Fed is not expected to change the federal funds rate target. The Bank of Japan Board meeting early in the week will not be overseen by Governor Ueda, who is currently in hospital.
