ECB preview: Monetary exit remains very distantNordea
We expect rates to be kept unchanged, which is in line with the general perception. This week’s meeting will be about the implications of the sell-off in fixed-income markets. Draghi is likely to repeat that an ECB exit is very distant; that rates will rise at some point; while excessive rate rises in the periphery could be dealt with by activating the OMT.

The Fed should listen to the grapevine, i.e. marketsHistorinhas
It wasn´t the case, according to Mishkin, that “in 2007 and 2008, the US economy encountered a perfect storm.” Much more likely it was the Fed concentrating on headline inflation and disregarding what market indicators – such things as the stock market, inflation expectations and the foreign exchange rate – were signaling.

Chart of the day, Fed-tightening editionFelix Salmon / Reuters
It shows when people expect the Fed to start raising interest rates, rather than slowing down on QE. But that all-important first rate hike now has a 65% probability of taking place in 2014, according to the market — up from less than 15% in the NY Fed’s April survey.

Investment Outlook July 2013: The Tipping PointPIMCO
Immediate analysis of the past 6 weeks’ market action would argue that in late April, both the Fed and PIMCO observed that bond markets were approaching a tipping point… It will also record however, that the risk was not only in narrow credit spreads and emerging market debt/equity markets but at the heart of the credit system itself: U.S. Treasuries.

Nykyään kun sen voi kääntää toisinkin päin: voi kysyä, paljonko pankit tarvitsevat enää ihmisiä ja irvailla: tokko enää lainkaan tavallisia talliaisia tai yrittäjiä.
