GDP & Money SupplyThe trajectory of global GDP & Money Supply keeps going up. The World's GDP was 103.86 trillion in 2022 and is forecasted for 112.6 trillion in 2023. As of Nov. 28, 2022, the total global value of the M2 money supply is $82.6 trillion. Gross domestic product (GDP), is an estimate of the total value of goods and services produced in a country during a specified period, it is currently calculated yearly to understand the growth metrics of the country. The calculation is based on nominal GDP, also called GDP at current prices or in value. Countries by GDP is the single most indicator to capture economic activity of all the countries. The largest economies and top 10 countries by GDP in the world are United States, China, Japan, Germany, India, United Kingdom, France, Canada, Russia & Brazil. The United States economy is the largest in the world, measured by nominal GDP, followed by China, the world's second largest with annual growth that consistently outpaces the United States. Below is the latest top 20 list of Countries by GDP, ranked as per the economic activity of each country in 2023.

According to the Federal Reserve, there was about $2.3 trillion in circulation as of January 2023. M1: It includes all the M0 money supply, adding the money held in travelers’ checks, demand deposits, other types of checkable deposits and negotiable orders of withdrawal. As of January 2023, the seasonally adjusted stock of M1 totaled $19.64 trillion. M2: It includes all of the currency from the M1 money supply, and expands to include mutual funds, smaller time deposits, money market securities and other types of time deposits. M2 currencies are usually less liquid than M1, meaning you can’t convert M2 money into cash as easily. The total stock of M2 was $21.27 trillion in January. M3: It includes all the elements of M2, plus institutional money market funds and large time deposits. As compared to M1 and M2, M3 assets have the lowest liquidity. The Fed no longer calculates M3. How Much Money Is in the World? The total amount of money in the world can be measured and expressed in many different ways, so it’s difficult to give a specific answer. If you’re curious about the total value of notes and coins in circulation, the Bank for International Settlements estimated it to be 8,275,000,000,000, or $8.28 trillion U.S. dollars, across 20 major countries plus the euro area in 2021, its most recent estimate. Of course, there are nearly 200 countries in the world, so this is just a rough estimate of the most narrowly defined — and perhaps easiest to quantify — category of money. The global M1 supply, which includes all the money in circulation plus travelers checks and demand deposits like checking and savings accounts, was $48.9 trillion as of Nov. 28, 2022, according to Visual Capitalist. That publication estimated the total value of the M2 supply to be $82.6 trillion. Money is also present in the form of investments and derivatives. The total market capitalization of just the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq is over 48,000,000,000,000 USD as of December 2022, according to Statista. The sum of Market Capitalization of Shanghai Stock Exchange and Market Capitalization of Shenzhen Stock Exchange accounted for 12,360,284,655,000 USD in March 2023. The total market cap of cryptocurrency, as reported by CoinMarketCap, adds another $1.16 trillion to that figure. (Source "gobankingrates, By Scott Jeffries March 16, 2023")

Nikkei 225 continues to outperform other Indices Nikkei 225 continues to outperform other Indices JP225 has been trending up since the third week of March. Economic news from both the US and Japan are the contributing factors to the bullish trend. In the short term, a breach of 30,000 seems likely. There are strong first-quarter earnings, coupled with the dovish Bank of Japan. Elsewhere in China, the numbers are rather disappointing for Industrial Production and Retail Sales. In the US, the current hot topics are the debt crisis, the hawkish Fed, and concerns about the safety of the deposits. Nikkei 225 index has been outperforming other indices. Geopolitics and encouraging fundamentals from Japan are making this asset a lucrative one. However, one needs to exercise caution when trading JP225, as it is considered one of the most volatile indices, said Abrar Bhatti, an analyst at Exness. On the daily charts, the technical resistance area of 30,000 is yet to be broken. If it does happen, the next resistance area will be the 30,300, followed by a high made on 21st September 2021. Moreover, the index is currently trading well above 20 days Moving average, making it lucrative for trend traders. On the contrary, bears will try to push the index down to the 29,300 area. The price of 28,500 will serve as an ultimate support area.

🟨 RECESSION? - TIGHTER CREDIT CONDITIONSFED CHAIRMAN POWELL'S STATEMENT 🎙️ Chairman Powell remains flexible regarding future rate hikes, emphasizing that decisions will be taken on a meeting-by-meeting basis. Notably, the removal of the word "anticipates" indicates a decrease in urgency for additional rate increases. Furthermore, the absence of the phrase "sufficiently restrictive" suggests that current policy has reached the desired level. LENDING AND CREDIT CONDITIONS 💳 The Federal Reserve is closely monitoring lending and credit conditions as tighter credit may replace some of the rate hikes that could have been necessary. The current approach can be described as a "hope and pray" policy, where the Fed relies on falling inflation and tighter credit conditions to achieve a sufficiently restrictive stance, while hoping no other issues arise. POTENTIAL RECESSION ON THE HORIZON? 📉 Tighter credit conditions might lead to a recession. However, it is essential to determine how much of this possibility has already been factored into the market.

Macro conditions don't foretell a market crash soonSome points here looking back to 2001. (2020 was an irregular event): 1. Unemployment Rate (UNRATE green) has to start rising before SPX (yellow) drops. Currently UNRATE is declining. 2. The Unemployment Rate (UNRATE green) seems to follow the Unemployed Persons Rate (USUP dark blue). USUP just fell so presumably we can expect UNRATE to fall too this month. 3. Continuing Jobless Claims (USCJC red) and Initial Jobless Claims (USIJC light blue) just fell slightly. 4. There are still more job openings than people to fill them (JTSJOL Non-Farm Job Openings minus USCJC US Continuing Jobless Claims) And just announced today, Non-Farm Payrolls exceeded expectations. Conclusion is that macro conditions don't foretell a market crash in the immediate future. Of course that's provided we don't see another slew of bank failures, and that Congress can agree a new debt limit.
