Easing Financial Conditions and Their Impact

The easing of financial conditions has played a pivotal role in shaping the current economic landscape. Since October 2022, significant liquidity injections, driven by a steep increase in U.S. debt and the Federal Reserve's interventions, have stimulated the market. The U.S. deficit has surged by $5 trillion, creating a stimulative environment typically seen during crises. Consequently, while major indices like the S&P and NASDAQ have seen impressive gains, there is a disparity beneath the surface, revealing a concentrated market with few stocks driving the overall performance.
