While everyone is fretting about the first change to the price of money (the interest rate), the quantity of money may matter as well. The Fed’s current exit strategy implies 400bn yearly “unprinting” of money (starting in 2016) - but if the Fed opts to use Term Deposits to control money market rates USD-positive “unprinting” could happen sooner than that.

The Impact of Oil and the Dollar on 2Q FinancialsThe Fat Pitch
2Q financials have been poor, with negative growth in both sales and EPS. Sales growth has been affected by a 50% fall in oil prices and 15% fall in the value of trading partner currencies. Both of those are likely to make upcoming 3Q financials look bad as well.
