ECB, BOE in Prime Focus this Week

With the Fiscal Cliff behind us and the impending debt ceiling debate at least another month away, market focus will return to plain economic fundamentals next week. The sentiment is being bolstered by two central bank announcements – the ECB (January 10th, 7:45AM EST) and BOE (January 10th, 7:00AM EST). Although nothing really new is expected, both events are still likely to take the lion’s share of attention.

Nothing is expected to happen when the Bank of England meets for the first time in 2013. Although concerns have emerged over a divide in the central bank, it is unlikely that the monetary body will move to do anything other than wait-and-see. The key remains in the results from the Funding for Lending program, which is entering its sixth month of operation. In the same respect, the ECB is unlikely to move when it decides on interest rates on Thursday. Instead, monetary policy leaders will continue to highlight the option of the OMT scheme in quelling any more crisis concerns, and likely point to stabilization in the region’s member economies in justifying no rate change.-FXstreet.com
