AITOUZI / MACRO LIQUIDITY

Macro liquidity: rates, credit and the dollar

Macro liquidity describes financing conditions, not daily money entering equities. AiTouzi converts eight measures into historical percentiles and combines them by weight. Easier conditions can reduce financing pressure, while earnings cuts, high valuations or credit shocks can still hurt stocks.

Dates use Asia/Shanghai. This is the methodology review date, not a market-data timestamp. Refer to each tool for its data dates.

Current platform methodology

Fed assets, NFCI and high-yield spreads each carry 20%; 2-year yields, real yields and the dollar each 10%; 10- and 30-year yields each 5%. A state requires at least 75% available weight. Fed assets use a 13-week change rather than the long-run balance-sheet level.

Agreement is not proof of causality

A negative NFCI indicates conditions looser than the historical average. Falling yields can reflect easing inflation or recession fears; compare credit spreads and earnings. Series update at different frequencies, so a composite date cannot replace individual observation dates.

LevelCurrent financing conditions, not a forecast return.
ChangeImprovement over a month can coexist with tight conditions.
Historical associationCheck sample size and window; median returns are not promises.

Limits & counterexamples

This is AiTouzi's research methodology, not an official central-bank composite. Samples may overlap and data may be revised. Associations are not causation; leveraged products also face daily rebalancing effects.
