WHAT I’M WATCHING:

Markets: a shift in the rhythm?

I’m treating myself to a meander through markets today – these tend to get pushed aside in my focus on “interregnums”, but I do enjoy touching base with narratives and charts from time to time.

As we surf through the midpoint of summer, it is increasingly feeling like markets are also reaching an inflection of some sort. Just like the ideal wave, inflections can take a while – but they set the stage for what’s ahead.

A liquidity recovery?
