"UFM Market Trends sheds new light on our understanding of macroeconomic data. Their view of liquidity is thought provoking, and the indicators used in their analysis highlight the consequences of unsustainable quantitative easing," says Massimiliano Neri, director of UFM Finance Research Center.
New set of indicators
The newsletter focuses on key variables for investors and entrepreneurs—such as relative price of financial assets, commodities, or currencies—and how they depend on banking activity, monetary policies, and central banks.
Among the questions addressed:
- What is the link between the prices of financial assets and real assets?
- Can a central bank go broke? Can it become illiquid? What are the consequences?
- What is the relationship between liquidity and wealth creation?
- Do today's financial intermediaries reliably reflect their portfolio structure?
To help answer these questions, UFM Market Trends has created a new set of indicators:
- Liquidity gap
- Yield curve indicator
- Alternative mismatch indicator
