This week has been one of the most positive weeks for stock markets which have gone through consecutive sessions of gains following Citigroup's bail out, which has given confidence to investors to think that despite the grim outlook for next year, government aid will help to soften the consequences of the crisis.
Next week we have important events scheduled, specially interest rate decisions by the Bank of England and the European Central Bank, The ECB is expected to slash interest rates by 50 basis points, while the Bank of England will probably approve a 75 basis points rate cut, aiming to boost their economies, once inflation levels have declined sharply in the last months.
Furthermore, next week the Fed will publish its Beige Book and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will release its monetary policy decision. And as every first Friday of the month, the U.S. Labor Department will publish the Non-Farm payrolls report.
These are next weeks' most important events:
