Why Are Equity Investors So Upbeat?   We think of investment markets as largely driven by two moving parts: inflows of liquidity and the portfolio exposure of investors to risk assets. The first leg down in a bear squeeze often comes from falling liquidity: the second leg down comes from greater risk aversion. Using US data, we show that this comprises both a lower demand for equity risk and the greater supply of government bonds.       See our latest published research, Global View Why Are Equity Investors So Upbeat? - June 2022     IMPORTANT – Our email addresses are changing – emails from sender@liquidity.com will become sender@crossbordercapital.com from the 1st of July 2022.

China At A Critical Turning Point: Could The Yuan Devalue?   For more than five years, until March of this year, Asian currency volatility has been unusually low. We previously suggested that a de facto ‘Asian Euro’ had formed as a pathway that could allow the Chinese Yuan to challenge the US dollar in cross-border markets. Since the Ukraine invasion, at least, the US dollar has been weaponized.
