WEEKLY LIQUIDITY UPDATE Global Liquidity slipped again last week down to US$188.9T , according to the latest flash estimates. Short‑term momentum has softened, with the 3‑month annualised growth rate registering 4.3% - well below the 6.0% pace seen two weeks ago. The decline reflects ongoing USD recovery, weaker collateral values and rising bond market volatility. The 12‑month growth rate also moderated, falling to 7.4% from 8.1% a week earlier as the base effect from last year’s liquidity downturn continues to fade. Liquidity levels remain elevated but have likely peaked. Weakening liquidity conditions will weigh negatively on risk asset markets 1.
