Global Markets Remain Cautious as Central Bank Meetings Loom.

The Sensex and the Nifty, India’s domestic market benchmarks, started the week on a negative note, echoing the cautious sentiment seen in other major Asian markets. Investors around the world are treading carefully ahead of a week filled with central bank meetings, including the Federal Reserve’s announcement on Wednesday, the Bank of England’s outlook on Thursday, and the Bank of Japan’s decision on Friday.

Rate Hikes May Have Peaked, But Inflation Persists

Across the globe, there is growing anticipation that central banks may have reached their peak in terms of interest rate hikes, suggesting a period of stability ahead. However, inflation continues to linger above central banks’ targets in many countries, reminding us that the battle against rising prices is far from over.

Last Thursday, the European Central Bank (ECB) made headlines by raising its key interest rate to an unprecedented 4 per cent. Despite this bold move, the ECB signaled that this might be their final rate hike, marking the culmination of a 14-month-long fight against inflation in the Eurozone.
