A big week coming up – Federal Reserve Chair Powell speech the focus (Ueda speaking also)

There are a couple of previews of the week ahead here:

Make sure you add in that Federal Reserve Chair Powell will be speaking this week which, for me, is the highlight. I have already seen questions that will be asked along the lines of:

• “does he agree with the ‘dovish hold’ assessment of last week’s FOMC decision and press conference”.

I thought it wasn’t that dovish so my question would be

• “does he agree with the ‘hawkish hold’ assessment of last week’s FOMC decision and press conference”.

Powell speaks on November 9
