Central Banks
Bond Traders Eye Packed Week of Rate Decisions for Sell Signals

The Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and peers in Japan, the UK and Canada are all scheduled to set interest rates. That makes for a rare week in which every Group of Seven central bank convenes, together deciding monetary policy for about half the world’s economy.
