On Tuesday, the Reserve Bank of Australia raised its official cash rate to 3.1%, a 10-year high. In addition, representatives of the central bank reiterated forecasts of the need for further rate hikes in order to curb record levels of inflation.

Next week the European Central Bank and the Bank of England will hold meetings on monetary policy. Markets are predicting that both central banks will raise interest rates amid a permanent rise in inflation.

Recall that last Wednesday Fed Chairman Jerome Powell spoke at the Brooking Institute Hutchins Center on fiscal and monetary policy.

In his statement, the head of the central bank signaled a potential easing of monetary policy and a slowdown in future interest rate hikes on the back of more favorable data on inflation in America.

Meanwhile, the flash composite purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 47.8 from 47.3 in October. Despite this, the index for 19 euro-area countries has been below the 50-point mark for five consecutive months, indicating an economic slowdown and a contraction of business activity in the sector.

According to the data of the US Institute of Supply Management, as of the end of November the business activity in the US service sector unexpectedly jumped up to 56.5 points from October's 54.4 points. Meanwhile, the market expected an average decline to 53.3 points. Recall, the value of the business activity index above 50 points indicates strengthening of business activity in the service sector.
