After a week of choppy directionless trading the market took a lead from a WSJ article hinting that the Fed is close to finishing their rate rises. 75 basis points is locked in for the meeting next week, but after the article suggests the Fed will slow down. This is what the market has been waiting for and risk off took off.

The Central Banks raise rates with the Aussies dragging its heels stubbornly. Both the BOC and ECB raised by 75% with hawkish commentary signalling higher rates to come, whilst the RBA raised by 50% with Lowe hinting that the next move will be smaller and slower, putting him out of line with the majors.

Market In Review 08/2022
The USA is on holidays today so it should be a quiet start to the week. Data wise, there is a bunch of PMI’s out this week from Europe and USA. Personally I do not put a lot of weighting on PMIs as they are only a survey of expectations, not hard data of what has actually been manufactured or serviced. Also, there is the Kiwi Central Bank meeting, with the RBNZ expected to raise again to 1%.
