How it works

Why it matters in the Gulf

Because most Gulf currencies are pegged to the dollar, Gulf central banks usually move interest rates in step with the US Federal Reserve. Fed decisions therefore affect your loan, mortgage and savings rates directly.

How to read it

Compare the actual figure with the forecast. A big surprise — like inflation well above expectations — is what moves gold, stocks and currencies.
