A Big Liquidity Drain Is Poised To Hit The Market Starting This Week
Image Source: PexelsThis week will feature critical central bank meetings, with the Fed on Wednesday, the Bank of England on Thursday, and the Bank of Japan on Friday. While the Fed will capture most of the focus in the U.S., the BOJ may be more significant, especially if they signal that more rate hikes are likely if the economy continues to develop as expected.This week is also a tax week, so we’ll likely see the Treasury General Account (TGA) refill after last week’s drawdown.
