These levels are under control and seem to be heading towards the Fed\u2019s target without additional intervention.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n According to the estimates of the futures markets from FedWatch issued by CME, the markets are pricing in raising interest rates by 25 basis points at the Bank\u2019s meeting on Wednesday, by 24%, compared to more than 60% at the beginning of last week, after the statements of the Federal Reserve members, while the interest rate is priced at 76%, and therefore will be determined<\/span><\/span> Inflation numbers tomorrow, Tuesday, are the majority of this percentage, and will largely determine the outcome of the Federal Reserve meeting.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n In addition to the inflation numbers, the US labor market figures also came in support of the US Federal Reserve, after the economy added about 339,000 jobs in May, the unemployment rate rose to 3.7%, and the wages fell by 0.3% and 4.4% on a monthly and annual basis, respectively<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/span> The bank\u2019s interest decision on Wednesday, in addition to the press conference of the bank\u2019s president, Jerome Powell, accompanies the bank\u2019s members\u2019 quarterly expectations for the future of interest rates, growth, and inflation, and what is known as the dot plot, which draws expectations for future interest rates, which will move the markets in the coming period.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n European Central Bank<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n On Thursday, the European Central Bank will announce its monetary policy and interest rates, as it is estimated that interest rates will be raised by about 25 basis points, to reach 4%.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Inflation rates in the eurozone in the May reading came at 6.1% in the initial reading, compared to 7% in the April reading, while the main index, excluding food and energy prices, rose to 5.3% in May, compared to 5.6 in the April reading.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n These figures for inflation from the eurozone showed a decline in inflationary pressures, while indicators supporting a slowdown in growth in the eurozone escalated after the recent figures for the PMI<\/span><\/span> Markets are currently pricing another increase of 25 basis points, which may be in next July.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The statements of European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde and a number of monetary policy makers in the European Central Bank in the previous period support less tightening in the bank’s monetary policy, and therefore investors will focus on Christine Lagarde’s statements in the press conference to read the expectations of the future of the bank’s monetary policy and whether the bank will stop after Thursday’s meeting or<\/span><\/span> We will witness another hike before stopping.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Bank of Japan<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The Central Bank of Japan will announce the results of its meeting at the end of the week,

reached 3.4% in April, levels that remain higher than the bank\u2019s target of 2%, but the bank\u2019s expectations that inflation will reach a target by the fiscal year ending in March 2023 support the bank\u2019s keeping of the current policy without change on Friday, especially since the bank\u2019s governor, Ueda, confirmed for more than<\/span><\/span> Once that he needed some time before
