Interest rates are still zero and the Fed is still soaking up $120bn of bonds each month - BIS
The US housing index (FHFA) is rising at a record pace of 15.7pc.
BIS warns that markets could take matters into their own hands and pre-empt the Fed if there is an inflation overshoot, leading to a “rapid and disorderly unwinding of positions taken on the assumption of persistently easy monetary conditions”.
That is a euphemism for a stock market crash.
