Liquidity

The Liquidity Framework uses public-data signals that correlate with global liquidity. We provide a fast nowcast of funding and market stress with a slower moving liquidity-cycle regime that smooths noisy transitions.

Current cycle regime
Calm

The smoothed cycle regime remains in a stable calm phase with no persistent transition signal yet.

Trigger: Desired Calm because liquidity is still broadly supportive and the warning cluster is not persistent enough to keep the cycle in a late-stage regime.

Regimes

Liquidity Cycle Regimes

Calm
Current

Liquidity and market-stress signals are broadly supportive. The model sees a stable backdrop without a persistent transition warning.

Speculation

Liquidity is rolling over or warning indicators are clustering, but stress is not yet broad enough to classify the environment as turbulence.

Turbulence

A liquidity squeeze is confirmed by stress indicators. Funding, credit, volatility, or market-trend signals are defensive enough to treat the backdrop as risk-off.

Rebound

Post-stress repair phase. Liquidity and market plumbing are improving together after a turbulence episode, but the cycle has not fully reset to calm.
