The week ahead: Eyes on Boao Forum in China - Rabobank

Ross J Burland FXStreet

Analysts at Rabobank offered their outlook for the week ahead.

Key Quotes:

"Shifting from the fundamental to the trivial, today we see just German trade data and Canadian housing starts. Fasten your seatbelt for those data-points."

"Tomorrow we have the Boao Forum in China, where President Xi will speak: will we get more paeans to free trade, as at Davos? And if so, will anybody really believe them? We also get the Aussie NAB business survey, the US NFIB small business survey, and US PPI inflation and wholesale inventories."

"Wednesday has Chinese money-supply and new lending (hint: it will be a huge figure, which is what we can call deleveraging with Chinese characteristics) then CPI and PPI, UK trade and industrial production, and US CPI."

"Thursday see PBOC Governor Yi Gang speak at an IMF Conference, Aussie home loans, then Eurozone and Indian industrial production. Friday then ends the week with the RBA’s Financial Stability Review, the Fed’s Rosengren speaking on the economy, and Bullard on “Living Standards across US Cities”(! - Whatever next: “The Fed’s Favourite Episode of ‘Friends’?!”). Then we see Michigan consumer confidence."

Gold off YTD lows, still struggles around $4,000 on hawkish Fed bets

Gold is off year-to-date lows, still struggling around $4,000 in the Asian session on Thursday as bears pause following the overnight slump to the lowest level since November 2025. Despite easing inflationary concerns amid falling oil prices, elevated Fed rate-hike bets help the US Dollar preserve its recent strong gains to the highest level since May 2025, weighing on non-yielding bullion.

Crypto market sheds over 50% of its value amid Bitcoin's brief decline below $60K

The crypto market has erased more than half of its value since reaching an all-time high in late 2025. The decline underscores the severity of the recent bear market and lack of a fresh catalyst to revive investor interest, according to a Wednesday X post by The Kobeissi Letter.

5.90% to 5.45%: Why the Pound ignored the bond market’s relief rally

Keir Starmer resigned on Monday, and the Pound barely moved. That near-silence is the tell. Sterling's real driver these past four months has not been the prime minister, nor the left-leaning frontrunner lining up to replace him, but the long end of the gilt curve, which answers to a force no British politician controls.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
