certainly there are other mechanisms...but the mere fact that people tend to concentrate their attention on interest rates makes those rates so important to market sentiment.(ps note m3 is no longer made public)

economics is in large part an exercise in psycology......thats where economists and bankers go wrong....2 plus 2 can for practical purposes equal 5 if enough people believe it does.....ask any stock analist.g,ng

ingrained market psycology can be hard to change ....you have heard the term "pushing on a string"have you not......but,when it does change it can easily swing to extremes.
