Macroeconomy experts throw light on current economic situations.
On 25th July 2022, Real Vision co-founder and CEO—Raoul Pal talked about the present macro-economic situations and their effects on the crypto market, in a newly released video. Pal noted his opinion on crypto that it has presumably bottomed. He also added that the global supply of money could act as the biggest macro influence on cryptocurrencies.
Former Goldman-Sachs executive predicted a steep fall in economic growth. That will end up encouraging more money supply. While going ahead, he compared two distinct market indicators—ISM Manufacturing Index and the US M2 Money Supply.
Pal explained showcasing the chart that ISM has turned upside down. Considering this, the supply of money also started bottoming out, as the chart indicates. Also, it was going higher and if it continues to do so then Pal says that crypto is probably going with it. In support of his arguments, he cited the instances whenever the economy gets weak, the Federal Reserves like central banks show up and start injecting liquidity within the system.
M2 Money Supply is fundamentally a magnitude to measure the current supply of money. This includes cash, deposits in savings, securities in the money market, and other such assets that are easily convertible. Meanwhile, the ISM Manufacturing Index is majorly described as a signal showing the US economy’s over health.
During his explanation, Pal took the example of China. He said that China is probably apprehending the growth of the money supply. However, in his opinion, something similar could go on a global level.
In the case of the US dollar, Pal said, there could be a possibility of swap lines in order to help the money supply. He thinks that there are high chances of witnessing a turn in the money supply. Slow growth would result in the improvement of crypto.
Pal said that it might seem illogical because of the common notion that if growth would slow down it would eventually be slowing down crypto. However, Pal thinks it’s counterintuitive, whereas when growth experiences slow movements, it results in a fall of inflation, leads to an increase in money supply and this ends up making crypto perform well.
