Global week ahead: Fed’s December decision to inform world’s central banks

Looks like this week could set the tone for year-end policy moves globally. The U.S. Federal Reserve is widely expected to cut rates at its meeting, which is likely to influence how other central banks wrap up 2025. The Swiss National Bank is up on Thursday, followed by the Bank of England and the European Central Bank on December 18, and then the Bank of Japan on December 19. A lot of moving parts in a short window, especially with growth slowing in some regions and inflation still uneven. Should be an interesting few weeks for currencies, bonds, and equities.
