Week commencing 13 June

Chris Beauchamp’s insight

The week sees decisions from the Federal Reserve (Fed), Bank of England (BoE) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ), although the last of these three is not likely to move on policy. In addition, key UK data such as unemployment is released, along with the German ZEW index. The last of earnings season in the US is covered by Oracle and Adobe, plus earnings from Ashtead and an update from Tesco.
