The Week Ahead: 20th – 24th December 2021

Overview for the Week Ahead

Investors will closely monitor reports in a packed economic release schedule this week leading up to the long holiday weekend.

The stock market will be closed all day on Friday in observation of Christmas Day, which falls on a Saturday this year. The U.S. bond market is also set to close early on Thursday at 21.00 GMT+2, and close entirely on Friday as well.

In the days ahead, inflation data will be a central focus. This will especially be so following the Federal Reserve’s latest monetary policy decision and updated economic and interest rate outlooks, which showed the central bank now sees the potential for three interest rate hikes in 2022, based on the central bank’s Summary of Economic Projections. And that updated forecast, as well as the Fed’s decision to accelerate its asset-purchase tapering process moving forward, came as the central bank observed “the strengthening labour market and elevated inflation pressures” in the recovering economy.
