A caravanserai was a roadside inn where travelers could rest and recover from the day's journey. Caravanserais supported the flow of commerce, information, and people across the network of trade routes covering Asia, North Africa, and southeastern Europe, especially along the Silk Road.
"The weekend press has seen a caravanserai of commentators question either the markets' understanding of what Ben said, or Ben's understanding of markets, or both." http://www.businessinsider.com/how-the-fed-made-the-markets-tank-2013-7
I think it is being used as a collective noun, like a "gaggle of geese", or a "school of fish".
