LONDON, Oct 30 (Reuters) - European stock indexes opened
a touch higher on Monday as investors focused on the outlook for
interest rates ahead of a busy week of central bank meetings and
economic data.
Investors are waiting for the outcome of meetings at the
Bank of Japan (BOJ) on Tuesday, the U.S. Federal Reserve on
Wednesday and the Bank of England (BoE) on Thursday, as well as
Chinese manufacturing data on Tuesday and key U.S. jobs data on
Friday, all of which will be scrutinised for any clues that
central banks have raised interest rates sufficiently to combat
inflation and can look towards easing monetary policy again.
The earnings season also continues with Apple, Airbnb,
McDonald's, Moderna and Eli Lilly & Co among the many reporting
this week. Results so far have been underwhelming, contributing
to the S&P 500's retreat into correction territory .
At 0834 GMT, the MSCI World Equity Index was little changed,
up 0.3% on the day but still near its lowest since late March
.
Stocks were subdued in the Asian session, with MSCI's
broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan
up just 0.1%, having hit a one-year low last
week.
Europe's STOXX 600 was up 0.7% and London's FTSE
100 was up 0.8% .
The market is looking for "confirmation of the peak rate
policy by central banks and any indication that might lead to
thinking that perhaps central banks will be in a position to cut
(rates) by the middle of next year," said Samy Chaar, chief
economist at Lombard Odier.
Japan's Nikkei fell 0.95% amid speculation the BOJ
might tweak its yield curve control policy when its two-day
policy meeting wraps up on Tuesday.
Many analysts expect the central bank will lift its
inflation forecast to 2.0%, but are unsure whether it will
finally abandon yield curve control in the face of market
pressure on bonds. Yields are already at their highest since
2013 at 0.89% .
In the euro zone, government bond yields were lower, with
the benchmark 10-year German yield down 5 basis points at 2.787%
.
Investors are betting that rates in the region will stay
persistently high, although new data showed inflation in Germany
is falling.
Yields on 10-year Treasuries stood at 4.8602%,
having climbed around 28 basis points this month. Sentiment will
be tested further this week when the U.S. Treasury announces its
refunding plans, with more increases likely.
The sharp rise in market borrowing costs has convinced
analysts and markets the Federal Reserve will stand pat at its
policy meeting this week.
The U.S. dollar index was steady, at around 106.650 ,
and the euro was down by less than 0.1% at $1.0556 .
The dollar was flat against the yen at 149.62 ,
below last week's top of 150.78.
Risk appetite was dulled to some extent by Israel's push to
surround Gaza's main city in a self-declared "second
