Stock markets posted consecutive gains last week following Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration. This week, attention shifts to critical interest rate decisions from the Federal Reserve (Fed), the European Central Bank (ECB), and the Bank of Canada (BOC).<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, major US tech firms, including Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Tesla, and Apple, are set to report their quarterly and full-year earnings. Large European corporations such as ASML and LVMH are also scheduled to release their results. Key economic data will include inflation reports from major European economies and the US fourth-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth figures. Meanwhile, China will enter the Lunar New Year holiday from Tuesday onwards.<\/p>\n<p>The ECB is widely expected to lower the deposit rate by 25 basis points to 2.75% on Thursday, despite elevated inflation in recent months. Policymakers are increasingly concerned about the economic outlook, particularly in light of Donald Trump&#8217;s return to the White House.<\/p>\n<p><em>European Central Bank warns of how a shift in US trade policies could affect the EU<\/em><br \/>\nSpeaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, ECB President Christine Lagarde emphasised the need for Europe to &#8221;be prepared&#8221; for potential shifts in US trade policy under President Trump. She also expressed confidence that Eurozone inflation remains on track to return to the 2% target this year. Analysts expect the ECB to continue cutting rates after this week&#8217;s meeting, with a total reduction of at least one percentage point anticipated in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Germany, France, and Spain will release their preliminary Consumer Price Indices (CPIs) for January. Inflation is expected to cool in Germany and France but remain at an elevated level in Spain, according to consensus forecasts. Eurozone inflation increased to 2.4% in December, its highest level since July. Additionally, the bloc will release its flash GDP figures for the fourth quarter of 2024. Economists anticipate economic growth will have slowed to 0.1% quarter-on-quarter, down from 0.4% in the third quarter. The fourth-quarter earnings reports from LVMH and ASML are scheduled for release on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2025\/01\/27\/the-markets-central-bank-rate-decisions-tech-earnings-and-key-economic-data\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2025\/01\/27\/the-markets-central-bank-rate-decisions-tech-earnings-and-key-economic-data\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/the-markets-central-bank-rate-decisions-tech-earnings-and-key-economic-data\/\">The markets: Central bank rate decisions, tech earnings, and key economic data<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[4507,17713,17714,17715,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-136884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-central-bank","tag-key-economic-data","tag-rate-decisions","tag-tech-earnings","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136884\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
