It's liquidity stupid!
Strong M2 growth in China, and to a smaller extent Brazil and India, add to the ongoing expansion of M2 in the United States and in Europe. Our Global M2 proxy continues to point to a broadly supportive liquidity environment for risk assets. The S&P 500 continues to follow the evolution of our Global M2 proxy with an 11-week lag. Bitcoin has desynchronized from our Global M2 proxy since mid-August but bounced up strongly last week. Will it catch up our Global M2 proxy (and rise toward 140k)? NB: liquidity is one risk assets driver among others. Past results do not guarantee future results
