Global Market Outlook: Inflation, War and AI keep investors on edge
Central banks across the world are preparing for critical policy decisions as inflation concerns remain elevated. Israel is expected to deliver a modest rate cut, while policymakers in Hungary, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and South Korea are likely to keep interest rates unchanged. South Africa, however, may be forced to raise rates further due to rapidly rising inflation. The broader message from policymakers is clear: inflation risks remain too high for aggressive easing despite slowing growth.
