GLOBAL MARKET/OPINION
GLOBAL MARKET/OPINION: The BIS has just published an interest and topical paper
entitled "Central Bank forward guidance and the signal value of market prices"
by Stephen Morris and Hyun Song Shin. 
- Apparently, we should not listen to Central Bank speakers.
- The report states "The analysis suggests that relying less on market signals
increases the effectiveness of central bank communication. In their eagerness to
correctly anticipate policy moves, market participants risk giving too much
weight to central bankers' utterances and not enough to assessing economic data.
If central bankers, in turn, trust markets to guide their actions, they may end
up creating a feedback loop that cancels out the value of the very market
signals they rely on. In this circular relationship, market outcomes reflect
central bank actions, which in turn reflect market outcomes."
