The Influence of Liquidity on Markets
The dynamics of market liquidity are currently overshadowing traditional fundamental analysis, leading to misaligned incentives and distorted pricing mechanisms. With liquidity continuing to flow unfettered into markets, many traditional metrics that previously indicated market health now seem irrelevant. This situation raises questions about the sustainability of current investments, as fundamentals appear to hold little sway while liquidity takes center stage. It is suggested that the ongoing influx of liquidity presents a false sense of security, making it difficult for investors to discern genuine market stability from temporary conditions.
