0607 GMT - The longer oil prices stay high, the longer central banks will feel obligated to sound as if they will tighten policy, Macquarie Group's Thierry Wizman says in a note. "Yet 'hawkish" policies that come in response to supply-side induced inflation have been proven (empirically) to be the cause of much more financial stress than when monetary policy comes in response to an inflation that is demand-driven," the global FX and rates strategist says. Through the channel of monetary policy, the War and 'financial stress' are inextricably linked, and there is now a steep empirical trade-off between price stability and financial stability, he says.
