Qui spiega da dove ha avuto origine l'espressione:
http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/08/dry-powder.asp
The term "dry powder" originated during the days when military battles were fought with guns and cannons that used gun powder. The gun powder had to be kept dry in order for it to remain effective. Nowadays, the term "dry powder" is used metaphorically in various contexts and circumstances, including the world of finance.
"Dry powder" in the financial world is used in reference to an individual company's cash reserves, particularly during difficult economic times. These cash reserves may be needed by the company to meet its obligations, so the company may seek to build up its "dry powder" in anticipation of tough conditions ahead.
