WORLD DOLLAR LIQUIDITY IS FALLING

Here is a summary of Dr Lacy Hunt's work on the cause of the record rate of decline in World Liquidity.

 

The Second Theorem: Monetary deceleration eventually lead to lower, not higher, interest rates as originally theorized by Milton Friedman.

When the Fed makes changes to the monetary base, they have an impact domestically and they have an impact globally.

Another Consequence of Fed Tightening: The Yield Spread

  • There has been a massive flattening – we’ve had 17 flattening cycles and 17 recessions.
  • Note that an actual inversion is not necessary. It only occurred in 10 of the 17 recessions.
  • When the yield curve is flat, banks typically charge less to riskier clients, making them more vulnerable to the next downturn.

World Dollar Liquidity

  • The Fed created more liquidity on the global markets than they did on the domestic market.
  • The Fed played a major role in allowing the rest of the world to get into deeper debt.
  • World dollar liquidity is now declining at a record rate.
  • This is a classic example of creating a policy without knowing the consequences.

If I am right, next liquidity injection by China will have a fleeting effect.

  • One other important element here – it is not just money, it is the velocity of money. It is turning over 1.4 times in U.S. but only 1 time…
  • Which means monetary policy is even more diluted in China, Japan and Europe.

We now have a synchronized downturn everywhere.

Perhaps the most important evidence is the decline in World Trade Volume.

  • We are now declining at a level equal to the last two recessions.
  • We are seeing it in all the indicators but the best one of all is global trade.
