Michael Howell: Markets On “Nervous Knife-Edge Equilibrium" As Global Liquidity Momentum Has Peaked

Michael Howell: Markets On “Nervous Knife-Edge Equilibrium" As Global Liquidity Momentum Has Peaked

Learn more about the Fundrise Income Fund here: https://Fundrise.com/mm In this episode, Michael Howell of Capital Wars and Global Liquidity Indexes discusses why the global liquidity cycle has peaked and is beginning to slow down in early 2026. This shift suggests that investors should pivot toward defensive assets, as the "everything bubble" transitions into a regime where liquidity is tighter relative to growing debt. Howell explains that while the US economy remains fundamentally strong, this strength may ironically act as a headwind for Wall Street by absorbing liquidity into the real economy. He identifies China as the primary driver behind the current surge in gold prices, noting their decoupling from Western cycles as they print money to manage significant debt burdens. Consequently, he highlights Chinese technology stocks and precious metals as unique areas of opportunity in an otherwise cautious market environment. Finally, Howell warns that the "canary in the coal mine" for this liquidity downturn is Bitcoin, which has historically shown extreme sensitivity to shifts in global liquidity momentum.
