This week, Brian Daingerfield and Paul Robson take a whistle-stop tour of major currencies ahead of a flurry of central bank policy decisions next week. Key takeaways * Rising oil prices have become the primary driver of FX markets. * Markets increasingly expect further rate hikes across several major economies. * The ECB remains on course for possible tightening if energy prices stay elevated. * The Bank of England’s debate centres on timing rather than direction. * Fiscal credibility will be an increasingly important factor for sterling. * The Federal Reserve is likely to provide little forward guidance despite hawkish market pricing. * Structural reforms, rather than intervention alone, may ultimately determine the yen’s outlook.
