Marc Chandler, Managing Partner at Bannockburn Global ForEx and Editor of the Marc to Market blog, joins us to focus on the rise in US interest rates, recent inflation data and look ahead to a big week of central bank meetings and statements.

The yield on the 10 year is now over 4.3%, closing in on a 4 month high. With higher inflation data last week, rate cut odds have been lowered and pushed back to later in the year. We also tie the interest rate moves into currency trading specifically the US Dollar.

In terms of this upcoming week, there are a wide range of central banks meeting, including the Fed. Some countries might be raising rates (Japan) while other could start cutting and the Fed will release its dot plot. Undoubtedly some volatility this week.
