“The U.S. Federal Reserve is ‘reviewing’ a landmark 2003 decision that first allowed regulated banks to trade in physical commodity markets, it said on Friday, a move that may send new shockwaves through Wall Street. While it is well known that the Fed is considering whether or not to allow banks including Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan to continue owning trading assets like oil storage tanks or metals warehouses, Friday’s one-sentence statement suggests that it is also reconsidering the full scope of banks’ activities in physical markets, which help generate billions in profits.”
