Deep dives
The Role of Liquidity in the U.S. Economy
The current U.S. economy is significantly influenced by global liquidity, which tends to flow into the U.S. market due to its size and competitiveness. With the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate cuts, there is potential for a shallow recession, helping to stimulate consumption-driven growth, which constitutes over 70% of the U.S. GDP. A strong labor market is critical for maintaining consumer confidence, as employment directly influences spending behavior. There are ongoing discussions about the implications of these cuts, especially regarding how they may affect the value of the dollar and the overall health of the international market.
