When Macro Watch Turned Bearish

One of the recurring themes of Macro Watch is that “Liquidity Drives Asset Prices”.

For instance, on March 6, 2021, Macro Watch published a video called “Liquidity Tsunami May Drive Asset Prices Much Higher.”  It argued that:

“The injection of so much additional Liquidity into the Financial Markets over such a short space of time, if, in fact, it does occur, has the potential to cause the speculative frenzy in the Financial Markets to intensify and drive asset prices much higher.” 

That is, in fact, what happened.

However, six months later, when signs emerged that the tide of Liquidity was about to go out, Macro Watch turned bearish.  

On September 25th, Macro Watch published, The Liquidity Tsunami Is About To End Abruptly.”  It warned:

“Now, however, it appears that the Liquidity Tsunami that has been pushing asset prices higher is about to come to a very abrupt end.  If so, the steady appreciation of asset prices that investors have grown used to is likely to slow down and then stop. The risk of a significant correction in asset prices during the months ahead is probably much greater than most investors imagine.”

Since then, Macro Watch has published six more videos warning of the very negative impact the anticipated reversal of Liquidity could have on asset prices and the economy.
