As every week, there are many important developments for investors to closely follow this week. Especially global economic data, central bank decisions, and updates in the cryptocurrency world will play a key role in determining the direction of investment assets. Here are the highlights to watch in the coming days:
Monday: Focus on Central Banks and Crypto World
The new week begins with the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) interest rate decision. Statements from BoJ could directly affect global risk appetite. Especially if a quantitative easing announcement is made, interest in risky assets is expected to increase. On the crypto front, announcements from Kadena (KDA) and EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) will be important for followers of these ecosystems.

Wednesday: Inflation and FED Decision Will Shape Markets
Wednesday will be one of the busiest days on the global economic calendar. The Eurozone annual inflation data will be released (expected 1.9%, previous 2.2%). This data is an important signal for the European Central Bank’s (ECB) future monetary policy moves.
In the evening, all eyes will be on the US as the Federal Reserve (FED) announces its interest rate decision (expected 4.5%, previous 4.5%). Besides the rate decision, FED Chair Jerome Powell’s statements will be decisive for the market direction. Whether Powell adopts a hawkish or dovish tone will directly affect the dollar and other assets.
Thursday: US Markets Closed, TCMB Decision
US stock markets will be closed on Thursday due to a public holiday. This may cause reduced trading volumes and lower volatility globally. In Turkey, the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (TCMB) will announce its interest rate decision (expected 46%, previous 46%). The decision and guidance will be critical for the Turkish Lira and Turkish assets.
Friday: Crypto Token Burn and Quadruple Witching
On the last trading day of the week, there will be another announcement from the crypto world: Reserve Rights (RSR) will conduct a token burn. Token burns generally reduce circulating supply, potentially increasing token value.
Also on Friday, the US markets will experience “Quadruple Witching.” This term refers to the simultaneous expiration of stock index futures, stock index options, stock options, and single stock futures. It often leads to high volumes and volatility, causing sudden market moves.
This week, alongside global economic data, central bank decisions and significant developments in the crypto ecosystem will remain on investors’ radar. Especially FED statements, European inflation data, and Binance’s margin pair decisions may increase market volatility. It is highly important for investors to closely monitor these developments and adjust their risk management accordingly.
