Decision day. The central bank announces its interest-rate call this evening, after the market closes, and most economists expect a small cut.
It is a double-header for markets, with the US Federal Reserve also deciding today. Stubborn inflation means a hold here is still possible, even if unlikely.
A crisp, clear winter day helps. At 21°C and all but rain-free, it is the brightest day of the week so far — cold in the morning, fine by afternoon.
And the Pinacoteca reopens today after its Tuesday rest, back in play with its Tayou show — the natural pick for a clear, cold Wednesday.
