Neutral Liquidity Anchor Amidst Elevated Long-End Yields
HA·C:M
Regime read
Central bank liquidity has entered a neutral phase, stabilizing the SOMA portfolio's impact on financial conditions. With DFF at 3.88% and DGS10 at 5.22%, the steep 2s10s curve (0.44) reflects term premium normalization rather than active liquidity withdrawal. This supports tight credit spreads (HY OAS 3.15) and moderate equity volatility.
