Week ahead: US Federal Reserve, Bank of England in focus
Markets' focus over the coming week will be on several of the world's main central banks as their rate-setters meet to decide on policy.
No changes in policy are expected from the US Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan, but investors will be closely watching for any hints that additional stimulus could still be in the pipeline.
It will also be a key week for economic releases, with a barrage of indicators due out in China on Tuesday, followed by US retail sales and consumer confidence figures on Thursday and Friday, respectively.
On home shores, the July employment report is due to be published on Tuesday, followed by a reading on consumer prices the next day and another on retail sales come Friday.
