How important is it?
The impact of liquidity reductions and potential funding squeezes is pivotal for market stability, especially for large-cap stocks in the S&P 500.
Why Short Term?
Liquidity concerns are immediate and may lead to volatility in the coming months, as evidenced by past rapid shifts in Treasury supply affecting market stability.
