Too much speculation, too much liquidity, not enough oil?
The waiting game is on for the Fed and other central banks this week, whilst oil could easily reach $100, maybe as soon as this week. NAB’s Skye Masters says the focus from the Fed will be on how quickly they see rates falling next year.

As we wait for the barrage of central banks in the second half of the week, starting with the Fed, a Reuters report suggests the ECB is looking at reducing the high level of excess reserves which could be impacting the effectiveness of monetary policy. NAB’s Skye Masters says it’s only natural for them to consider reducing their balance sheet once they near the end of the rate cycle. In the US, meanwhile, the BIS has warned of too much leverage in short positions on US Treasury Futures. Nothing that the Fed hasn’t previously warned about, says Skye. A bigger concern is the rise in oil, with some commentators suggesting it could peak at $100 this week. How does that play in the strategy for central banks? And, locally, RBA minutes. Surprises are unlikely this time round, but you never know!
