Market Volatility and Factors Affecting Liquidity

The ongoing market volatility is influenced by various factors, including the impact of the recent Fed pivot and the subsequent market rally leading to low volatility. With a selloff in markets causing a pullout of liquidity, market participants are facing challenges due to opposing factors such as increased supply, lower liquidity, and systemic option selling. Despite this, there are positive fundamentals supporting the market, including strong consumer data and low delinquencies, creating a push and pull dynamic in the market.
