The upcoming petrodollar bifurcation risk? | FT Alphaville

The upcoming petrodollar bifurcation risk? | FT Alphaville:



"

One of the still to be appreciated side-effects of falling oil prices is a reduction in so-called petrodollar recycling by oil producers.



As we’ve already noted, there are analysts who believe petro-induced liquidity shortages may already be impacting certain eurodollar markets. Furthermore, there’s also the fact that as liquidity shortfalls manifest in external markets, the opposite could become true for internal US markets. So, just as the dollar liquidity tap gets switched off externally, it gets turned on with gusto back at home.



But Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s Jean-Michel Saliba gets to the same point somewhat differently."
