The FOMC meeting minutes will be in focus this week amid renewed uncertainty about how high-interest rates might eventually rise in the central bank's fight against inflation. Traders will also focus on the RBNZ's interest rate decision on Wednesday. Most analysts believe the Central Bank of New Zealand will increase the rates by 0.50%. A strengthening of the national currency usually accompanies a rate hike. Also, the focus of traders will be inflation data from the Eurozone and Japan. The speech of the new Governor of the Bank of Japan will give more information about his stance on monetary policy. It also should be noted that at the end of this week, February 24 will be the anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which could bring additional surprises in the form of new escalations.
