Is This The Pivot?

Has The US Fed Already Paused And Started To ‘Pivot’?

 

Liquidity matters to markets: a fact that Wall Street’s fall through 2022 confirms. However, the recent sharp rally in stock prices hints that again there is more money around. Digging deeper into Fed operations shows that the effective QT (quantitative tightening) programme has stalled so far in Q4, even reversing to the tune of US$167bn of QE. This plainly goes against the tenor of Fed policy rhetoric and may support those (including us) who feel we may be close to a policy ‘pivot’? In practice, it is still too early to tell, but this move back to QE does evidence how hard it is operationally to remove liquidity, especially with the mighty Treasury market itself looking technically vulnerable. It will pay to watch this space.

China and Emerging Market Liquidity Update: China, The US Dollar and Emerging Markets   Emerging Market Liquidity conditions improved noticeably in November 2023, according to the jump in our EMLI™ index to a reading of 55.1. This rise was underpinned by buoyant cross-border capital inflows from foreign investors (index 68.6); an impressive rebound in private sector liquidity generation (index 54.1), reflecting signs of firming commodity markets, and further signs of easing by regional Central Banks (index 63.7), noticeably China (index 72.1). This provides a solid base for prospective EM stock market gains in 2024.       See our latest published research, China and Emerging Market Latest GLI™ – December 2023   For further information, please contact us at research@crossbordercapital.com
