When the yield curve inverts, net interest margins are compressed, making banks willing to lend only to the most secure borrowers. Credit standards (green below) are being tightened but credit growth (pink) remains strong. Credit growth is likely to decline in the months ahead and would warn that a recession is imminent.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.incrediblecharts.com\/images\/2023\/2023-02-13-bank-credit-standards.png?resize=525%2C363&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Domestic Banks Tightening Standards &amp; Credit Growth\" width=\"525\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fed operations reduced liquidity in financial markets but this has been partially offset by Treasury&#8217;s running down their General Account (TGA) at the Fed (which injects money into the economy).

Treasury, however, partially offset this by running down their TGA account (red) from $1.8 trillion in July 2020 to $0.5 trillion in January 2023.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.incrediblecharts.com\/images\/2023\/2023-02-13-fedassets-tga-rrp-stacked3.png?resize=525%2C363&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fed Net Asset Purchases\" width=\"525\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The net effect is a fall in the money supply (M2) relative to GDP, from 0.90 to 0.82. But there is still a long way to go. The ratio of M2 to GDP should ideally be a constant, with money supply growing at the same pace as GDP. Lax monetary policy instead allowed money to grow at a faster pace than national income, resulting in high inflation as aggregate demand runs ahead of output.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.incrediblecharts.com\/images\/2023\/2023-02-13-m2-gdp.png?resize=525%2C363&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"M2\/GDP\" width=\"525\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The primary cause of bull and bear markets is liquidity. Stock prices could well remain high, even while the Fed hikes interest rates, if financial markets are awash with cash. Only when credit growth slows, and the Fed sells more Treasuries, are prices likely to collapse. External factors, like foreign investor sales, may also shrink liquidity but are a lot harder to predict.<\/p>\n<p>The pig is still in the python. The large gap between deposits at commercial banks (blue below) and bank lending to private borrowers (pink) is represented mainly by commercial bank holdings of Treasury and agency securities.\u00a0 Only when that has been worked out of the system will financial conditions be restored to some semblance of normality.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.incrediblecharts.com\/images\/2023\/2023-02-13-pig.png?resize=525%2C363&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bank Credit &amp; Deposits\" width=\"525\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Acknowledgements<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/C_Barraud\/status\/1625005432480694272\">Christophe Barraud<\/a> for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-02-12\/global-bond-bulls-biggest-boj-fear-already-well-under-way\">Bloomberg link<\/a> on BOJ Treasury sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The S&amp;P 500 retreated from resistance at 4100.
