Next Week Outlook: Seven Major Central Banks Take Turns "Bombarding" the Market, NVIDIA GTC 2026 Conference Held
BlockBeats News, March 15: The three-party conflict among the US, Iran, and Israel has entered its third week, and the ongoing chaos in the energy commodities market is evolving into a major issue. In short, rising oil prices mean increasing inflation, which in turn weakens corporate profitability, ultimately leading the market into a tough battle. As we enter next week, seven major central banks will announce interest rate decisions, and the market will struggle forward in great uncertainty.
The Market's Main Focus is on the Federal Reserve:
Thursday 02:00, the Federal Reserve FOMC announces the interest rate decision and economic projections summary;
Thursday 02:30, Federal Reserve Chair Powell holds a monetary policy press conference.
The market generally expects that Federal Reserve policymakers will keep rates unchanged at next week's meeting. The latest macroeconomic developments have completely changed the Fed's rate outlook. Thursday's meeting will be Powell's second-to-last meeting, so a balanced and cautious tone is expected to prevail. Nevertheless, everyone's attention will be focused on the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) and dot plot, as expectations for two rate cuts have weakened following the current surge in oil prices.
Additionally, Tuesday 11:30, the Reserve Bank of Australia announces the interest rate decision; Wednesday 21:45, the Bank of Canada announces the interest rate decision; Thursday TBD, the Bank of Japan announces the interest rate decision; Thursday 16:30, the Swiss National Bank announces the interest rate decision; Thursday 20:00, the Bank of England announces the interest rate decision and meeting minutes; Thursday 21:15, the European Central Bank announces the interest rate decision.
The interest rate decisions of the above important global economies will also have unpredictable impacts on market fund flows.
Key economic data to be released next week include:
Monday 21:15, US February Industrial Production MoM;
Wednesday 04:30, US API Crude Oil Stock Change for the week ending March 13;
Wednesday 20:30, US February PPI YoY, US February PPI MoM;
Thursday 20:30, US Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending March 14, US March Philly Fed Manufacturing Index;
Economic data from the US and Europe will be released intensively, with a focus on US February Producer Price Index (PPI), Eurozone February Consumer Price Index (CPI) final reading, US Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending March 14, and March Philly Fed Manufacturing Index garnering market attention. These indicators will further reveal the inflation transmission path, labor market resilience, and manufacturing recovery strength, impacting policy expectations for the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, as well as global asset pricing.
Finally, the NVIDIA GTC 2026 conference will take place in San Jose, California, from March 16 to 19, marking the most anticipated annual event in the AI field. The conference will focus on the opening keynote by Jensen Huang, expected to cover AI full-stack updates, including chips, software, models, and applications, with themes around Physical AI, Agentic AI, AI Factories, Inference, and Accelerated Computing. The market highly anticipates Jensen Huang's preview of the "groundbreaking new chip that will shock the world," potentially involving a new architecture optimized for inference and agentic AI, such as a potential Language Processing Unit (LPU) or a low-power inference chip similar to Groq's style, aiming to address Token costs, ROI, and energy efficiency bottlenecks.
