September is shaping up to be a defining month for global monetary policy. A string of major central banks, including the European Central Bank, the US Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, and the Bank of Japan, are set to meet, with markets watching for signs of coordinated easing. The ECB goes first on 11 September, torn between inflation near target and fragile eurozone growth. But the spotlight is on the US Fed, where Chair Jerome Powell is expected to announce a 25-basis-point cut after months of holding rates steady, citing a cooling labour market and flat activity. A Fed cut would ripple through Asia, where central banks have been cautious but face similar soft growth and benign inflation. Nomura forecasts more aggressive easing than markets expect in India, Korea, Indonesia, and Thailand.
