The big picture
The day's arrivals were routine: central bank accounts, collateral lists, auction notices, and a building cost index, none of which alter the fiscal or monetary outlook. The week ahead turns on the Eurozone flash HICP estimate for August, due in early September, and whether the Bank of England's next Monetary Policy Report revises its inflation projections.
On the watchlist
- The Eurozone flash HICP estimate for August 2026, due in early September, will show whether energy costs push headline inflation above the ECB's target.
- The Bank of England's next Monetary Policy Report will reveal whether its inflation projections shift to reflect the sectoral and persistence channels identified in recent research.
- The Bank of Japan's next accounts release will indicate whether the pace of JGB purchases is changing, given the current high level of holdings.
- The Bank of Egypt's rate decision in the first quarter of 2027 will show whether it begins cutting rates as inflation is expected to start declining.
- The SEC's final rule adoption and effective date will determine when issuers can begin using the new crypto exemptions.
