Summary

Michael Howell presented a comprehensive analysis of global economic cycles, liquidity, asset allocation strategies, and geopolitical factors. He discussed how economic and liquidity cycles interact and how to allocate assets accordingly. Michael emphasised the importance of understanding historical data and cycles in making investment decisions. He predicts a peak in the current cycle around late 2025. Michael delved into the relationship between liquidity, central bank policies, and asset performance, particularly in equities, bonds, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Furthermore, he highlighted the impact of fiscal policies, especially in the US, on global liquidity and asset values.
