Understanding Global Liquidity Cycles and Central Bank Coordination
An advanced framework for reading the global liquidity cycle, built for macro-focused investors, fund managers, and senior finance professionals who need to move past headline Fed rate calls. Covers what global liquidity actually is beyond money supply, the mechanics of the Fed balance sheet (QE, QT, reserves, RRP, TGA), how policy from the 'core four' central banks (Fed, ECB, BOJ, PBOC) transmits into FPI flows, the rupee, and Indian markets, where central banks coordinate and where they diverge, and how gold, equities, and crypto each behave as liquidity assets. Anchored throughout in Indian context: RBI's MPC, forex reserves, FPI/FII data, NSE and BSE price action, and real episodes including the 2013 taper tantrum and the 2022 global tightening cycle.
