Between September 10 and 18, markets expect rate hikes from the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of Japan. These decisions could significantly impact the global economy.

The central banks have become the focus of market attention as the date of the scheduled meetings approaches. According to expansion.com, between September 10 and 18, interest rate hikes are expected from the Federal Reserve of the United States, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of Japan.

Analysts anticipate an increase in interest rates, starting with the Fed, which could announce a 25 basis point increase at its meeting on September 15-16. The probability of this hike has risen to 60%, according to interest rate futures, following a speech by Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh during the central bank summit in Jackson Hole.

In parallel, the European Central Bank faces a similar context. Inflation data in countries like Spain and France indicate a 95% probability of a rate hike at its scheduled meeting on September 10. The eurozone consumer price index (CPI) is expected to rise to 3.3%, which would reinforce this trend.

Finally, the Bank of Japan is also under analysts' scrutiny, although details of its upcoming moves are yet to be confirmed.
