Daily Agenda: The Week Ahead, September 14 – 19, 2015

If the week ahead had a theme, it would be liquidity. All eyes in the financial world will be on the Federal Reserve’s policy announcement this coming Thursday that may signal the tightening of money markets in the U.S. after years of unprecedented accommodation. All the while, a Japanese economy facing collateral damage from a slowing economy in China, its neighbor and largest trading partner, may have the Bank of Japan considering more easing to bolster growth and inflation. Starting this Saturday, a different sort of liquidity will be on tap at the beer halls of Munich as Oktoberfest gets underway. With the high volatility that has bedeviled global markets for several weeks, some investors might very much welcome this chance for refreshment.

Dating back to 1810, the annual festival is estimated to bring more than 6 million tourists to the capital of German federal state Bavaria. With the average Oktoberfestbier averaging more than 6 percent alcohol by volume, visitors are advised to pace themselves as they take part in a celebration that traces its roots to the anniversary of Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig and his wife, Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. In 1844, Ludwig’s imposition of a beer tax spurred a series of riots To quell the anger of his people the king decreed a ten percent reduction in price for his subjects’ quaff of choice.
